Aggregation or fusion of interval data is not a trivial task, since the necessity of arranging data arises in many aggregation functions, such as OWA operators or the Choquet integral. Some arranging procedures have been given to solve this problem, but they need certain parameters to be set. In order to solve this problem, in this work we propose the concept of an admissible permutation of intervals. Based on this concept, which avoids any parameter selection, we propose a new approach for the interval-valued Choquet integral that takes into account every possible permutation fitting to the considered ordinal structure of data. Finally, a consensus among all the permutations is constructed.

On the influence of interval normalization in IVOVO fuzzy multi-class classifier
(Springer, 2019) Uriz Martín, Mikel Xabier; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PJUPNA13
IVOVO stands for Inverval-Valued One-Vs-One and is the combination of IVTURS fuzzy classifier and the One-Vs-One strategy. This method is designed to improve the performance of IVTURS in multi-class problems, by dividing the original problem into simpler binary ones. The key issue with IVTURS is that interval-valued confidence degrees for each class are returned and, consequently, they have to be normalized for applying a One-Vs-One strategy. However, there is no consensus on which normalization method should be used with intervals. In IVOVO, the normalization method based on the upper bounds was considered as it maintains the admissible order between intervals and also the proportion of ignorance, but no further study was developed. In this work, we aim to extend this analysis considering several normalizations in the literature. We will study both their main theoretical properties and empirical performance in the final results of IVOVO.

Additional feature layers from ordered aggregations for deep neural networks
(IEEE, 2020) Domínguez Catena, Iris; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
In the last years we have seen huge advancements in the area of Machine Learning, specially with the use of Deep Neural Networks. One of the most relevant examples is in image classification, where convolutional neural networks have shown to be a vital tool, hard to replace with any other techniques. Although aggregation functions, such as OWA operators, have been previously used on top of neural networks, usually to aggregate the outputs of different networks or systems (ensembles), in this paper we propose and explore a new way of using OWA aggregations in deep learning. We implement OWA aggregations as a new layer inside a convolutional neural network. These layers are used to learn additional order-based information from the feature maps of a certain layer, and then the newly generated information is used as a complement input for the following layers. We carry out several tests introducing the new layer in a VGG13-based reference network and show that this layer introduces new knowledge into the network without substantially increasing training times.

Metrics for dataset demographic bias: a case study on facial expression recognition
(IEEE, 2024) Domínguez Catena, Iris; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra - Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
Demographic biases in source datasets have been shown as one of the causes of unfairness and discrimination in the predictions of Machine Learning models. One of the most prominent types of demographic bias are statistical imbalances in the representation of demographic groups in the datasets. In this paper, we study the measurement of these biases by reviewing the existing metrics, including those that can be borrowed from other disciplines. We develop a taxonomy for the classification of these metrics, providing a practical guide for the selection of appropriate metrics. To illustrate the utility of our framework, and to further understand the practical characteristics of the metrics, we conduct a case study of 20 datasets used in Facial Emotion Recognition (FER), analyzing the biases present in them. Our experimental results show that many metrics are redundant and that a reduced subset of metrics may be sufficient to measure the amount of demographic bias. The paper provides valuable insights for researchers in AI and related fields to mitigate dataset bias and improve the fairness and accuracy of AI models.

A study of OWA operators learned in convolutional neural networks
(MDPI, 2021) Domínguez Catena, Iris; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators have been integrated in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image classification through the OWA layer. This layer lets the CNN integrate global information about the image in the early stages, where most CNN architectures only allow for the exploitation of local information. As a side effect of this integration, the OWA layer becomes a practical method for the determination of OWA operator weights, which is usually a difficult task that complicates the integration of these operators in other fields. In this paper, we explore the weights learned for the OWA operators inside the OWA layer, characterizing them through their basic properties of orness and dispersion. We also compare them to some families of OWA operators, namely the Binomial OWA operator, the Stancu OWA operator and the expo-nential RIM OWA operator, finding examples that are currently impossible to generalize through these parameterizations.

Using the Choquet integral in the fuzzy reasoning method of fuzzy rule-based classification systems
(MDPI, 2013) Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Sanz Delgado, José Antonio; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
In this paper we present a new fuzzy reasoning method in which the Choquet integral is used as aggregation function. In this manner, we can take into account the interaction among the rules of the system. For this reason, we consider several fuzzy measures, since it is a key point on the subsequent success of the Choquet integral, and we apply the new method with the same fuzzy measure for all the classes. However, the relationship among the set of rules of each class can be different and therefore the best fuzzy measure can change depending on the class. Consequently, we propose a learning method by means of a genetic algorithm in which the most suitable fuzzy measure for each class is computed. From the obtained results it is shown that our new proposal allows the performance of the classical fuzzy reasoning methods of the winning rule and additive combination to be enhanced whenever the fuzzy measure is appropriate for the tackled problem.

A study of different families of fusion functions for combining classifiers in the one-vs-one strategy
(Springer, 2018) Uriz Martín, Mikel Xabier; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Jurío Munárriz, Aránzazu; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
In this work we study the usage of different families of fusion functions for combining classifiers in a multiple classifier system of One-vs-One (OVO) classifiers. OVO is a decomposition strategy used to deal with multi-class classification problems, where the original multi-class problem is divided into as many problems as pair of classes. In a multiple classifier system, classifiers coming from different paradigms such as support vector machines, rule induction algorithms or decision trees are combined. In the literature, several works have addressed the usage of classifier selection methods for these kinds of systems, where the best classifier for each pair of classes is selected. In this work, we look at the problem from a different perspective aiming at analyzing the behavior of different families of fusion functions to combine the classifiers. In fact, a multiple classifier system of OVO classifiers can be seen as a multi-expert decision making problem. In this context, for the fusion functions depending on weights or fuzzy measures, we propose to obtain these parameters from data. Backed-up by a thorough experimental analysis we show that the fusion function to be considered is a key factor in the system. Moreover, those based on weights or fuzzy measures can allow one to better model the aggregation problem.

OWA operators based on admissible permutations
(IEEE, 2019) Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Jin, LeSheng; Mesiar, Radko; Vavríková, Lucia; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PJUPNA13
In this work we propose a new OWA operator defined on bounded convex posets of a vector-lattice. In order to overcome the non-existence of a total order, which is necessary to obtain a non-decreasing arrangement of the input data, we use the concept of admissible permutation. Based on it, our proposal calculates the different ways in which the input vector could be arranged, always respecting the partial order. For each admissible arrangement, we calculate an intermediate value which is finally collected and averaged by means of the arithmetic mean. We analyze several properties of this operator and we give some counterexamples of those properties of aggregation functions which are not satisfied.

A survey on fingerprint minutiae-based local matching for verification and identification: taxonomy and experimental evaluation
(Elsevier, 2015) Peralta, Daniel; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Triguero, Isaac; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; García, Salvador; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Benítez, José Manuel; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Herrera, Francisco; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
Fingerprint recognition has found a reliable application for verification or identification of people in biometrics. Globally, fingerprints can be viewed as valuable traits due to several perceptions observed by the experts; such as the distinctiveness and the permanence on humans and the performance in real applications. Among the main stages of fingerprint recognition, the automated matching phase has received much attention from the early years up to nowadays. This paper is devoted to review and categorize the vast number of fingerprint matching methods proposed in the specialized literature. In particular, we focus on local minutiae-based matching algorithms, which provide good performance with an excellent trade-off between efficacy and efficiency. We identify the main properties and differences of existing methods. Then, we include an experimental evaluation involving the most representative local minutiae-based matching models in both verification and evaluation tasks. The results obtained will be discussed in detail, supporting the description of future directions.

Dissimilarity based choquet integrals
(Springer, 2020) Bustince Sola, Humberto; Mesiar, Radko; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
In this paper, in order to generalize the Choquet integral, we replace the difference between inputs in its definition by a restricted dissimilarity function and refer to the obtained function as d-Choquet integral. For some particular restricted dissimilarity function the corresponding d-Choquet integral with respect to a fuzzy measure is just the ‘standard’ Choquet integral with respect to the same fuzzy measure. Hence, the class of all d-Choquet integrals encompasses the class of all 'standard' Choquet integrals. This approach allows us to construct a wide class of new functions, d-Choquet integrals, that are possibly, unlike the 'standard' Choquet integral, outside of the scope of aggregation functions since the monotonicity is, for some restricted dissimilarity function, violated and also the range of such functions can be wider than [0, 1], in particular it can be [0, n].
