Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the concept of fuzzy sets was proposed by Zadeh in 1965, it has become possible to describe uncertainty and fuzziness information in practice quantitatively. Meanwhile, to reduce the loss of processed information, the probability theory is introduced into fuzzy sets to develop probabilistic fuzzy sets, hesitant probabilistic fuzzy sets, probabilistic intuitionistic fuzzy sets, etc. Their applications include probabilistic fuzzy clustering, probabilistic fuzzy image fusion, probabilistic fuzzy neural network control, and probabilistic fuzzy decision making. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and tools, our understanding of the real world has been further deepened. Accordingly, researchers have successively defined various fuzzy set extensions to depict phenomena that are more complex in reality, such as the picture fuzzy sets, q‐rung orthopair fuzzy sets, T-spherical fuzzy sets, etc. Therefore, meaningfully introducing probability theory into these new extensions to enhance the accuracy of information expression becomes an intriguing and important issue. Especially research areas such as the definitions of novel forms of probability-based fuzzy sets, probability-based fuzzy system optimization, corresponding operational rules, distance measurement, information aggregation, and their applications in various fields need further investigation.

This Special Issue welcomes papers combining probability theory with recent, new concepts in fuzzy sets to address the uncertainty and complexity that people are encountering.

The knowledge graph was first used in the information search of the Internet as a way to improve the quality of the search because it contains a huge amount of structured knowledge data. In this paper, the knowledge map algorithm is studied through natural language processing technology and probabilistic fuzzy information aggregation, and the knowledge map completion algorithm is cognitive-fitted. NLP is natural language processing. Based on the experiments in this paper, it can be seen that, after combining the algorithm, the behavior data set of 1000 Amazon users was analyzed, and it can be found that the accuracy of the algorithm improves as the proportion of data in the experiment increases. Among them, the 10% dataset has a correct rate of 0.66; the 30% dataset has a final accuracy rate of 0.68; and the 50% dataset has a final accuracy rate of 0.70. The experimental results of this paper show that using probabilistic fuzzy information aggregation and natural language processing technology as a way to complete the knowledge graph can improve the accuracy of the operation. It plays an important role in the development of intelligent cognition and search engines. Full article

Dimensional Analysis (DA) is a mathematical method that manipulates the data to be analyzed in a homogenized manner. Likewise, linear regression is a potent method for analyzing data in diverse fields. At the same time, data visualization has gained attention in tendency study. In addition, linear regression is an important topic to address predictive models and patterns in data study. However, it is still pending to attack the manipulation of uncertainty related to the data transformation. In this sense, this work presents a new contribution with linear regression, combining the Dimensional Analysis (DA) to address instability and error issues. In addition, our method provides a second contribution related to including the decision maker’s attitude involved in the study. Therefore, the experimentation shows that DA manipulates the regression problem under a complex situation that the outcome may have in the investigation. A real-life case study is used to demonstrate our proposal. Full article

We define the group measure matrix of the alternative scheme and the ideal scheme based on the relevant factor sequence and the system characteristic behavior sequence. Furthermore, the information distances of decision makers and decision criteria are defined, respectively. According to the information distance, we obtain each scheme’s grey matrix incidence degree for the scheme ranking. Finally, we use an example to verify the rationality of the model and compare it with other classic methods, such as TOPSIS, VIKOR, MULTI-MOORA. Compared with previous grey incidence analysis model, the proposed model can make full use of information of the decision-maker dimension and the criteria dimension. The proposed model can avoid high-dimensional information loss. The results show that the proposed method has superiority in measuring decision-maker information and decision-making standard information. Full article
