Measuring Relations Between Concepts In Conceptual Spaces

The highly influential framework of conceptual spaces provides a geometric way of representing knowledge. Instances are represented by points in a high-dimensional space and concepts are represented by regions in this space. Our recent mathematical formalization of this framework is capable of representing correlations between different domains in a geometric way. In this paper, we extend our formalization by providing quantitative mathematical definitions for the notions of concept size, subsethood, implication, similarity, and betweenness. This considerably increases the representational power of our formalization by introducing measurable ways of describing relations between concepts.Comment: Accepted at SGAI 2017 (http://www.bcs-sgai.org/ai2017/).

Super- and sub-additive envelopes of aggregation functions: interplay between local and global properties, and approximation

Super- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions have been recently introduced by Greco, Mesiar, Rindone and Sipeky [The superadditive and the subadditive transformations of integrals and aggregation functions, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 291 (2016), 40{53]. In this article we give a survey of the recent development regarding the existence of aggregation functions with a preassigned super- and sub-additive transformation, and address approximation of these transformations. The underpinning feature of the presented results is dependence of global properties of super- and sub-additive transformations on local properties of aggregation functions

Representation of maxitive measures: an overview

Idempotent integration is an analogue of Lebesgue integration where $\sigma$-maxitive measures replace $\sigma$-additive measures. In addition to reviewing and unifying several Radon--Nikodym like theorems proven in the literature for the idempotent integral, we also prove new results of the same kind.Comment: 40 page
