    Unsupervised fuzzy measure learning for classifier ensembles from coalitions performance
    (IEEE, 2020) Uriz Martín, Mikel Xabier; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Domínguez Catena, Iris; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PJUPNA13
    In Machine Learning an ensemble refers to the combination of several classifiers with the objective of improving the performance of every one of its counterparts. To design an ensemble two main aspects must be considered: how to create a diverse set of classifiers and how to combine their outputs. This work focuses on the latter task. More specifically, we focus on the usage of aggregation functions based on fuzzy measures, such as the Sugeno and Choquet integrals, since they allow to model the coalitions and interactions among the members of the ensemble. In this scenario the challenge is how to construct a fuzzy measure that models the relations among the members of the ensemble. We focus on unsupervised methods for fuzzy measure construction, review existing alternatives and categorize them depending on their features. Furthermore, we intend to address the weaknesses of previous alternatives by proposing a new construction method that obtains the fuzzy measure directly evaluating the performance of each possible subset of classifiers, which can be efficiently computed. To test the usefulness of the proposed fuzzy measure, we focus on the application of ensembles for imbalanced datasets. We consider a set of 66 imbalanced datasets and develop a complete experimental study comparing the reviewed methods and our proposal.

    Some bipolar-preferences-involved aggregation methods for a sequence of OWA weight vectors
    (Springer, 2021) Jin, LeSheng; Yager, Ronald R.; Chen, Zhen-Song; Špirková, Jana; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Mesiar, Radko; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
    The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator and its associated weight vectors have been both theoretically and practically verified to be powerful and effective in modeling the optimism/pessimism preference of decision makers. When several different OWA weight vectors are offered, it is necessary to develop certain techniques to aggregate them into one OWA weight vector. This study firstly details several motivating examples to show the necessity and usefulness of merging those OWA weight vectors. Then, by applying the general method for aggregating OWA operators proposed in a recent literature, we specifically elaborate the use of OWA aggregation to merge OWA weight vectors themselves. Furthermore, we generalize the normal preference degree in the unit interval into a preference sequence and introduce subsequently the preference aggregation for OWA weight vectors with given preference sequences. Detailed steps in related aggregation procedures and corresponding numerical examples are also provided in the current study.

    Some preference involved aggregation models for basic uncertain information using uncertainty transformation
    (IOS Press, 2020) Yang, RouJian; Jin, LeSheng; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Yager, Ronald R.; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
    In decision making, very often the data collected are with different extents of uncertainty. The recently introduced concept, Basic Uncertain Information (BUI), serves as one ideal information representation to well model involved uncertainties with different extents. This study discusses some methods of BUI aggregation by proposing some uncertainty transformations for them. Based on some previously obtained results, we at first define Iowa operator with poset valued input vector and inducing vector. The work then defines the concept of uncertain system, on which we can further introduce the multi-layer uncertainty transformation for BUI. Subsequently, we formally introduce MUT-Iowa aggregation procedure, which has good potential to more and wider application areas. A numerical example is also offered along with some simple usage of it in decision making.

    Extensions of fuzzy sets in image processing: an overview
    (EUSFLAT, 2011) Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Jurío Munárriz, Aránzazu; López Molina, Carlos; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Sanz Delgado, José Antonio; Couto, Pedro; Melo-Pinto, Pedro; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    This work presents a valuable review for the interested reader of the recent Works using extensions of fuzzy sets in image processing. The chapter is divided as follows: first we recall the basics of the extensions of fuzzy sets, i.e. Type 2 fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets and Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In sequent sections we review the methods proposed for noise removal (sections 3), image enhancement (section 4), edge detection (section 5) and segmentation (section 6). There exist other image segmentation tasks such as video de-interlacing, stereo matching or object representation that are not described in this work.

    A survey of fingerprint classification Part I: taxonomies on feature extraction methods and learning models
    (Elsevier, 2015) Galar Idoate, Mikel; Derrac, Joaquín; Peralta, Daniel; Triguero, Isaac; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; López Molina, Carlos; García, Salvador; Benítez, José Manuel; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Herrera, Francisco; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    This paper reviews the fingerprint classification literature looking at the problem from a double perspective. We first deal with feature extraction methods, including the different models considered for singular point detection and for orientation map extraction. Then, we focus on the different learning models considered to build the classifiers used to label new fingerprints. Taxonomies and classifications for the feature extraction, singular point detection, orientation extraction and learning methods are presented. A critical view of the existing literature have led us to present a discussion on the existing methods and their drawbacks such as difficulty in their reimplementation, lack of details or major differences in their evaluations procedures. On this account, an experimental analysis of the most relevant methods is carried out in the second part of this paper, and a new method based on their combination is presented.

    A survey of fingerprint classification Part II: experimental analysis and ensemble proposal
    (Elsevier, 2015) Galar Idoate, Mikel; Derrac, Joaquín; Peralta, Daniel; Triguero, Isaac; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; López Molina, Carlos; García, Salvador; Benítez, José Manuel; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Herrera, Francisco; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    In the first part of this paper we reviewed the fingerprint classification literature from two different perspectives: the feature extraction and the classifier learning. Aiming at answering the question of which among the reviewed methods would perform better in a real implementation we end up in a discussion which showed the difficulty in answering this question. No previous comparison exists in the literature and comparisons among papers are done with different experimental frameworks. Moreover, the difficulty in implementing published methods was stated due to the lack of details in their description, parameters and the fact that no source code is shared. For this reason, in this paper we will go through a deep experimental study following the proposed double perspective. In order to do so, we have carefully implemented some of the most relevant feature extraction methods according to the explanations found in the corresponding papers and we have tested their performance with different classifiers, including those specific proposals made by the authors. Our aim is to develop an objective experimental study in a common framework, which has not been done before and which can serve as a baseline for future works on the topic. This way, we will not only test their quality, but their reusability by other researchers and will be able to indicate which proposals could be considered for future developments. Furthermore, we will show that combining different feature extraction models in an ensemble can lead to a superior performance, significantly increasing the results obtained by individual models.

    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.

    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.

    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.
