    Training a personal alert system for research information recommendation

    Information Systems, and in particular Current Research Information Systems (CRISs), are usually quite difficult to query when looking for specific information, due to the huge amounts of data they contain. To solve this problem, we propose to use a personal search agent that uses fuzzy and rough sets to inform the user about newly available information. Additionally, in order to automate the operation of our solution and to provide it with sufficient information, a document classification module is developed and tested. This module also generates fuzzy relations between research domains that are used by the agent during the mapping process

    On the incorporation of interval-valued fuzzy sets into the Bousi-Prolog system: declarative semantics, implementation and applications

    Full text link
    In this paper we analyse the benefits of incorporating interval-valued fuzzy sets into the Bousi-Prolog system. A syntax, declarative semantics and im- plementation for this extension is presented and formalised. We show, by using potential applications, that fuzzy logic programming frameworks enhanced with them can correctly work together with lexical resources and ontologies in order to improve their capabilities for knowledge representation and reasoning

    Autonomous clustering using rough set theory

    Get PDF
    This paper proposes a clustering technique that minimises the need for subjective human intervention and is based on elements of rough set theory. The proposed algorithm is unified in its approach to clustering and makes use of both local and global data properties to obtain clustering solutions. It handles single-type and mixed attribute data sets with ease and results from three data sets of single and mixed attribute types are used to illustrate the technique and establish its efficiency

    Platonic model of mind as an approximation to neurodynamics

    Get PDF
    Hierarchy of approximations involved in simplification of microscopic theories, from sub-cellural to the whole brain level, is presented. A new approximation to neural dynamics is described, leading to a Platonic-like model of mind based on psychological spaces. Objects and events in these spaces correspond to quasi-stable states of brain dynamics and may be interpreted from psychological point of view. Platonic model bridges the gap between neurosciences and psychological sciences. Static and dynamic versions of this model are outlined and Feature Space Mapping, a neurofuzzy realization of the static version of Platonic model, described. Categorization experiments with human subjects are analyzed from the neurodynamical and Platonic model points of view

    Integrated and Differentiated Spaces of Triangular Fuzzy Numbers

    Full text link
    Fuzzy sets are the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines as well as modern technologies. In mathematics, fuzzy sets have triggered new research topics in connection with category theory, topology, algebra, analysis. In this paper, we use the triangular fuzzy numbers for matrix domains of sequence spaces with infinite matrices. We construct the new space with triangular fuzzy numbers and investigate to structural, topological and algebraic properties of these spaces.Comment: 10 pages, 17 reference
