Publication Open Access VCI-LSTM: Vector choquet integral-based long short-term memory(IEEE, 2022) Ferrero Jaurrieta, Mikel; Takáč, Zdenko; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Horanská, Lubomíra; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Montes, Susana; Díaz, Irene; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta MatematikaChoquet integral is a widely used aggregation operator on one-dimensional and interval-valued information, since it is able to take into account the possible interaction among data. However, there are many cases where the information taken into account is vectorial, such as Long Short-Term Memories (LSTM). LSTM units are a kind of Recurrent Neural Networks that have become one of the most powerful tools to deal with sequential information since they have the power of controlling the information flow. In this paper, we first generalize the standard Choquet integral to admit an input composed by $n$-dimensional vectors, which produces an $n$-dimensional vector output. We study several properties and construction methods of vector Choquet integrals. Then, we use this integral in the place of the summation operator, introducing in this way the new VCI-LSTM architecture. Finally, we use the proposed VCI-LSTM to deal with two problems: sequential image classification and text classification.Publication Embargo A generalization of the Sugeno integral to aggregate interval-valued data: an application to brain computer interface and social network analysis(Elsevier, 2022) Fumanal Idocin, Javier; Takáč, Zdenko; Horanská, Lubomíra; Da Cruz Asmus, Tiago; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Vidaurre Arbizu, Carmen; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCIntervals 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.Publication Open Access Type-(2, k) overlap indices(IEEE, 2022) Roldán López de Hierro, Antonio Francisco; Roldán, Concepción; Tíscar, Miguel Ángel; Takáč, Zdenko; Santiago, Regivan; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta MatematikaAutomatic image detection is one of the most im- portant areas in computing due to its potential application in numerous real-world scenarios. One important tool to deal with that is called overlap indices. They were introduced as a procedure to provide the maximum lack of knowledge when comparing two fuzzy objects. They have been successfully applied in the following fields: image processing, fuzzy rule-based systems, decision making and computational brain interfaces. This notion of overlap indices is also necessary for applications in which type-2 fuzzy sets are required. In this paper we introduce the notion of type-(2, k) overlap index (k 0, 1, 2) in the setting of type-2 fuzzy sets. We describe both the reasons that have led to this notion and the relationships that naturally arise among the algebraic underlying structures. Finally, we illustrate how type- (2, k) overlap indices can be employed in the setting of fuzzy rule-based systems when the involved objects are type-2 fuzzy sets.Publication Open Access General grouping functions(Springer, 2020) Santos, Helida; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Da Cruz Asmus, Tiago; Sanz Delgado, José Antonio; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y MatemáticasSome aggregation functions that are not necessarily associative, namely overlap and grouping functions, have called the attention of many researchers in the recent past. This is probably due to the fact that they are a richer class of operators whenever one compares with other classes of aggregation functions, such as t-norms and t-conorms, respectively. In the present work we introduce a more general proposal for disjunctive n-ary aggregation functions entitled general grouping functions, in order to be used in problems that admit n dimensional inputs in a more flexible manner, allowing their application in different contexts. We present some new interesting results, like the characterization of that operator and also provide different construction methods.Publication Open Access On fuzzy implications derived from general overlap functions and their relation to other classes(MDPI, 2023) Pinheiro, Jocivania; Santos, Helida; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Callejas Bedregal, Benjamin; Santiago, Regivan; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCThere are distinct techniques to generate fuzzy implication functions. Despite most of them using the combination of associative aggregators and fuzzy negations, other connectives such as (general) overlap/grouping functions may be a better strategy. Since these possibly non-associative operators have been successfully used in many applications, such as decision making, classification and image processing, the idea of this work is to continue previous studies related to fuzzy implication functions derived from general overlap functions. In order to obtain a more general and flexible context, we extend the class of implications derived by fuzzy negations and t-norms, replacing the latter by general overlap functions, obtaining the so-called (GO, N)-implication functions. We also investigate their properties, the aggregation of (GO, N)-implication functions, their characterization and the intersections with other classes of fuzzy implication functions.Publication Open Access Multimodal fuzzy fusion for enhancing the motor-imagery-based brain computer interface(IEEE, 2019) Ko, Li-Wei; Lu, Yi-Chen; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Chang, Yu-Cheng; Chang, Yang; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Wang, Yu-Kai; Sanz Delgado, José Antonio; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Lin, Chin-Teng; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y MatemáticasBrain–computer interface technologies, such as steady-state visually evoked potential, P300, and motor imagery are methods of communication between the human brain and the external devices. Motor imagery–based brain–computer interfaces are popular because they avoid unnecessary external stimulus. Although feature extraction methods have been illustrated in several machine intelligent systems in motor imagery-based brain–computer interface studies, the performance remains unsatisfactory. There is increasing interest in the use of the fuzzy integrals, the Choquet and Sugeno integrals, that are appropriate for use in applications in which fusion of data must consider possible data interactions. To enhance the classification accuracy of brain-computer interfaces, we adopted fuzzy integrals, after employing the classification method of traditional brain–computer interfaces, to consider possible links between the data. Subsequently, we proposed a novel classification framework called the multimodal fuzzy fusion-based brain-computer interface system. Ten volunteers performed a motor imagery-based brain-computer interface experiment, and we acquired electroencephalography signals simultaneously. The multimodal fuzzy fusion-based brain-computer interface system enhanced performance compared with traditional brain–computer interface systems. Furthermore, when using the motor imagery-relevant electroencephalography frequency alpha and beta bands for the input features, the system achieved the highest accuracy, up to 78.81% and 78.45% with the Choquet and Sugeno integrals, respectively. Herein, we present a novel concept for enhancing brain–computer interface systems that adopts fuzzy integrals, especially in the fusion for classifying brain–computer interface commands.Publication Open Access T-overlap functions: a generalization of bivariate overlap functions by t-norms(Springer, 2018) Zapata, Hugo; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y MatemáticasThis paper introduces a generalization of overlap functions by extending one of the boundary conditions of its definition. More specifically, instead of requiring that 'the considered function is equal to zero if and only if some of the inputs is equal to zero' , we allow the range in which some t-norm is zero. We call such generalization by a t-overlap function with respect to such t-norm. Then we analyze the main properties of t-overlap function and introduce some construction methods.Publication Open Access N-dimensional admissibly ordered interval-valued overlap functions and its influence in interval-valued fuzzy rule-based classification systems(IEEE, 2021) Da Cruz Asmus, Tiago; Sanz Delgado, José Antonio; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Callejas Bedregal, Benjamin; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y MatemáticasOverlap functions are a type of aggregation functions that are not required to be associative, generally used to indicate the overlapping degree between two values. They have been successfully used as a conjunction operator in several practical problems, such as fuzzy rulebased classification systems (FRBCSs) and image processing. Some extensions of overlap functions were recently proposed, such as general overlap functions and, in the interval-valued context, n-dimensional interval-valued overlap functions. The latter allow them to be applied in n-dimensional problems with interval-valued inputs, like interval-valued classification problems, where one can apply interval-valued FRBCSs (IV-FRBCSs). In this case, the choice of an appropriate total order for intervals, like an admissible order, can play an important role. However, neither the relationship between the interval order and the n-dimensional interval-valued overlap function (which may or may not be increasing for that order) nor the impact of this relationship in the classification process have been studied in the literature. Moreover, there is not a clear preferred n-dimensional interval-valued overlap function to be applied in an IV-FRBCS. Hence, in this paper we: (i) present some new results on admissible orders, which allow us to introduce the concept of n-dimensional admissibly ordered interval-valued overlap functions, that is, n-dimensional interval-valued overlap functions that are increasing with respect to an admissible order; (ii) develop a width-preserving construction method for this kind of function, derived from an admissible order and an n-dimensional overlap function, discussing some of its features; (iii) analyze the behaviour of several combinations of admissible orders and n-dimensional (admissibly ordered) interval-valued overlap functions when applied in IV-FRBCSs. All in all, the contribution of this paper resides in pointing out the effect of admissible orders and n-dimensional admissibly ordered interval-valued overlap functions, both from a theoretical and applied points of view, the latter when considering classification problems.Publication Open Access The law of O-conditionality for fuzzy implications constructed from overlap and grouping functions(Elsevier, 2019) Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Callejas Bedregal, Benjamin; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Sesma Sara, Mikel; Pintor Borobia, Jesús María; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; IngenieríaOverlap and grouping functions are special kinds of non necessarily associative aggregation operators proposed for many applications, mainly when the associativity property is not strongly required. The classes of overlap and grouping functions are richer than the classes of t-norms and t-conorms, respectively, concerning some properties like idempotency, homogeneity, and, mainly, the self-closedness feature with respect to the convex sum and the aggregation by generalized composition of overlap/grouping functions. In previous works, we introduced some classes of fuzzy implications derived by overlap and/or grouping functions, namely, the residual implications R-0-implications, the strong implications (G, N)-implications and the Quantum Logic implications QL-implications, for overlap functions O, grouping functions G and fuzzy negations N. Such implications do not necessarily satisfy certain properties, but only weaker versions of these properties, e.g., the exchange principle. However, in general, such properties are not demanded for many applications. In this paper, we analyze the so-called law of O-Conditionality, O(x, 1(x, y)) <= y, for any fuzzy implication I and overlap function O, and, in particular, for Ro-implications, (G, N)-implications, QL-implications and D-implications derived from tuples (O, G, N), the latter also introduced in this paper. We also study the conditional antecedent boundary condition for such fuzzy implications, since we prove that this property, associated to the left ordering property, is important for the analysis of the O-Conditionality. We show that the use of overlap functions to implement de generalized Modus Ponens, as the scheme enabled by the law of O-Conditionality, provides more generality than the laws of T-conditionality and U-conditionality, for t-norms T and uninorms U, respectively.Publication Open Access Abstract homogeneous functions and consistently influenced/disturbed multi-expert decision making(IEEE, 2021) Santiago, Regivan; Callejas Bedregal, Benjamin; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Fardoun, Habib; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta MatematikaIn this paper we propose a new generalization for the notion of homogeneous functions. We show some properties and how it appears in some scenarios. Finally we show how this generalization can be used in order to provide a new paradigm for decision making theory called consistent influenced/disturbed decision making. In order to illustrate the applicability of this new paradigm, we provide a toy example.
