Intervals are a popular way to represent the uncertainty related to data, in which we express the vagueness of each observation as the width of the interval. However, when using intervals for this purpose, we need to use the appropriate set of mathematical tools to work with. This can be problematic due to the scarcity and complexity of interval-valued functions in comparison with the numerical ones. In this work, we propose to extend a generalization of the Sugeno integral to work with interval-valued data. Then, we use this integral to aggregate interval-valued data in two different settings: first, we study the use of intervals in a brain-computer interface; secondly, we study how to construct interval-valued relationships in a social network, and how to aggregate their information. Our results show that interval-valued data can effectively model some of the uncertainty and coalitions of the data in both cases. For the case of brain-computer interface, we found that our results surpassed the results of other interval-valued functions.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a family of networks that have become state-of-the-art in several fields of artificial intelligence due to their ability to extract spatial features. In the context of natural language processing, they can be used to build text classification models based on textual features between words. These networks fuse local features to generate global features in their over-time pooling layers. These layers have been traditionally built using the maximum function or other symmetric functions such as the arithmetic mean. It is important to note that the order of input local features is significant (i.e. the symmetry is not an inherent characteristic of the model). While this characteristic is appropriate for image-oriented CNNs, where symmetry might make the network robust to image rigid transformations, it seems counter-productive for text processing, where the order of the words is certainly important. Our proposal is, hence, to use non-symmetric pooling operators to replace the maximum or average functions. Specifically, we propose to perform over-time pooling using pseudo-grouping functions, a family of non-symmetric aggregation operators that generalize the maximum function. We present a construction method for pseudo-grouping functions and apply different examples of this family to over-time pooling layers in text-oriented CNNs. Our proposal is tested on seven different models and six different datasets in the context of engineering applications, e.g. text classification. The results show an overall improvement of the models when using non-symmetric pseudo-grouping functions over the traditional pooling function.

d-Choquet integrals: Choquet integrals based on dissimilarities
(Elsevier, 2020) Bustince Sola, Humberto; Mesiar, Radko; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Altalhi, A. H.; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Bedregal, Benjamin; Takáč, Zdenko; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PJUPNA13
The paper introduces a new class of functions from [0,1]n to [0,n] called d-Choquet integrals. These functions are a generalization of the 'standard' Choquet integral obtained by replacing the difference in the definition of the usual Choquet integral by a dissimilarity function. In particular, the class of all d-Choquet integrals encompasses the class of all 'standard' Choquet integrals but the use of dissimilarities provides higher flexibility and generality. We show that some d-Choquet integrals are aggregation/pre-aggregation/averaging/functions and some of them are not. The conditions under which this happens are stated and other properties of the d-Choquet integrals are studied.

Moderate deviation and restricted equivalence functions for measuring similarity between data
(Elsevier, 2019) Altalhi, A. H.; Forcén Carvalho, Juan Ignacio; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Takáč, Zdenko; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
In this work we study the relation between moderate deviation functions, restricted dissimilarity functions and restricted equivalence functions. We use moderate deviation functions in order to measure the similarity or dissimilarity between a given set of data. We show an application of moderate deviate functions used in the same way as penalty functions to make a final decision from a score matrix in a classification problem.
