Implementing imperfect information in fuzzy databases
Information in real-world applications is often
vague, imprecise and uncertain. Ignoring the inherent imperfect
nature of real-world will undoubtedly introduce some deformation of human perception of real-world and may eliminate several
substantial information, which may be very useful in several
data-intensive applications. In database context, several fuzzy
database models have been proposed. In these works, fuzziness
is introduced at different levels. Common to all these proposals is
the support of fuzziness at the attribute level. This paper proposes
ļ¬rst a rich set of data types devoted to model the different kinds
of imperfect information. The paper then proposes a formal
approach to implement these data types. The proposed approach
was implemented within a relational object database model but it
is generic enough to be incorporated into other database models.ou
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/). The final

FSL-BM: Fuzzy Supervised Learning with Binary Meta-Feature for Classification
This paper introduces a novel real-time Fuzzy Supervised Learning with Binary
Meta-Feature (FSL-BM) for big data classification task. The study of real-time
algorithms addresses several major concerns, which are namely: accuracy, memory
consumption, and ability to stretch assumptions and time complexity. Attaining
a fast computational model providing fuzzy logic and supervised learning is one
of the main challenges in the machine learning. In this research paper, we
present FSL-BM algorithm as an efficient solution of supervised learning with
fuzzy logic processing using binary meta-feature representation using Hamming
Distance and Hash function to relax assumptions. While many studies focused on
reducing time complexity and increasing accuracy during the last decade, the
novel contribution of this proposed solution comes through integration of
Hamming Distance, Hash function, binary meta-features, binary classification to
provide real time supervised method. Hash Tables (HT) component gives a fast
access to existing indices; and therefore, the generation of new indices in a
constant time complexity, which supersedes existing fuzzy supervised algorithms
with better or comparable results. To summarize, the main contribution of this
technique for real-time Fuzzy Supervised Learning is to represent hypothesis
through binary input as meta-feature space and creating the Fuzzy Supervised
Hash table to train and validate model.Comment: FICC201
A possibilistic approach to latent structure analysis for symmetric fuzzy data.
In many situations the available amount of data is huge and can be intractable. When the data set is single valued, latent structure models are recognized techniques, which provide a useful compression of the information. This is done by considering a regression model between observed and unobserved (latent) fuzzy variables. In this paper, an extension of latent structure analysis to deal with fuzzy data is proposed. Our extension follows the possibilistic approach, widely used both in the cluster and regression frameworks. In this case, the possibilistic approach involves the formulation of a latent structure analysis for fuzzy data by optimization. Specifically, a non-linear programming problem in which the fuzziness of the model is minimized is introduced. In order to show how our model works, the results of two applications are given.Latent structure analysis, symmetric fuzzy data set, possibilistic approach.
The Symmetric Sugeno Integral
We propose an extension of the Sugeno integral for negative numbers, in the spirit of the symmetric extension of Choquet integral, also called \Sipos\ integral. Our framework is purely ordinal, since the Sugeno integral has its interest when the underlying structure is ordinal. We begin by defining negative numbers on a linearly ordered set, and we endow this new structure with a suitable algebra, very close to the ring of real numbers. In a second step, we introduce the Mƶbius transform on this new structure. Lastly, we define the symmetric Sugeno integral, and show its similarity with the symmetric Choquet integral.

The role of human factors in stereotyping behavior and perception of digital library users: A robust clustering approach
To deliver effective personalization for digital library users, it is necessary to identify which human factors are most relevant in determining the behavior and perception of these users. This paper examines three key human factors: cognitive styles, levels of expertise and gender differences, and utilizes three individual clustering techniques: k-means, hierarchical clustering and fuzzy clustering to understand user behavior and perception. Moreover, robust clustering, capable of correcting the bias of individual clustering techniques, is used to obtain a deeper understanding. The robust clustering approach produced results that highlighted the relevance of cognitive style for user behavior, i.e., cognitive style dominates and justifies each of the robust clusters created. We also found that perception was mainly determined by the level of expertise of a user. We conclude that robust clustering is an effective technique to analyze user behavior and perception
