This paper presents two versions of a general type-2 fuzzy classifier. The focus is on interpretability since the rules are meaningful and the rule base is comprised of few rules, which is a direct consequence of the hierarchical reclassification process being proposed. The approaches are evaluated on a land cover classification problem by using data from a remote sensing platform. The classifiers’ performance are compared with the reference ones’ (maximum likelihood classifier and ordinary fuzzy classifier). The results show that the general type-2 fuzzy modeling is able to produce accurate classifiers while maintaining the model interpretability.

Many types of artifacts can be connected and controlled over a network. However, when a lot of artifacts are connected, it is very difficult to control with conventional interface switches. The interface of these systems should be suitable for each individual user and should be designed for ease of operation. In this paper, a new type of user-friendly interface for a networked lighting system that can be controlled over the network is proposed. In the proposed system, the user operates the lighting system by designing the illuminance distribution, and the system learns user's sensory scale to support this design.

Genetic fuzzy rule selection has been successfully used to design accurate and interpretable fuzzy classifiers from numerical data. In our former study, we proposed its parallel distributed implementation which can drastically decrease the computational time by dividing both a population and a training data set into sub-groups. In this paper, we examine the effect of data reduction on the generalization ability of fuzzy rule-based classifiers designed by our parallel distributed approach. Through computational experiments, we show that data reduction can be realized without severe deterioration in the generalization ability of the designed fuzzy classifiers.

Existing search engines and question-answering (QA) systems have made possible processing large volumes of textual information. Current work on QA has mainly focused on answering two basic types of questions: factoid and definition questions. However, the capability to synthesize an answer to a query by drawing on bodies of information which reside in various parts of the knowledge base is not among the capabilities of those systems. In this paper, a system oriented to infer query answers from a collection of propositions expressed in natural language is introduced. By means of a specific example, it is outlined how the system proceeds to face those situations. This approach is based on the use of formal constraining relations modeling copulative and comparative sentences. Combining those propositions with others contained in different knowledge bases and applying deduction rules, the desired answer could be obtained.

Spontaneous cerebral blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) fluctuations are gaining interest in the neurophysiology community. These oscillations are prominent in the low-frequency range with spatiotemporal correlations. From a healthy individual, a basal resting state BOLD fMRI acquisition has been performed by collecting 4 slices. Voxel signals from seven selected regions have been considered. We assumed a composite null-hypothesis of oscillations embedded in “red noise”. To extract oscillations from BOLD signals we applied the Monte Carlo Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA). Phase-synchronization of the oscillatory components, in the low-frequency range 0.085-0.13Hz, have been also achieved. As results, region-dependent distributions were apparent both for the noise parameters and for the number of connections between voxels. Although further studies on population samples should confirm the result consistency, the SSA technique combined with a phase-synchronization analysis seems a feasible method to extract low frequency BOLD spontaneous oscillations and to find functional connections among cerebral areas.

Trust and Reputation management play an important role in agent-based Recommender Systems. Although several protocols and ontologies of agents using trust and reputation has been proposed, none of them has been so extensively used and implicitly accepted by research community as those from Agent Reputation and Trust (ART in advane) testbed. The motivation of this adaptation is to facilitate the use of ART principles in real distributed applications instead of a centralized testbed for experimentation. This paper presents an adaptation of the protocols proposed by ART testbed to a codification for the most popular Agent platform: JADE. This implementation follows a coherent API with the FIPA protocols included in JADE distribution for an easy use. We also complement the behaviours of corresponding initiators and responders of the protocols with an ontology formed by a collection of concepts, predicates and agent actions that may represent as the ART application domain as any other service-oriented domain. The proposal has been designed to be applied in domains where multi-agent e-commerce solutions are needed. Future work includes the integration of this ontology and protocols in context-aware scenarios such as an airport.
信任和声誉管理在基于智能体的推荐系统中起着重要的作用。虽然已经提出了几种使用信任和声誉的代理协议和本体，但它们都没有像来自代理信誉和信任(ART in advance)测试平台的协议和本体那样被研究团体广泛使用和隐含接受。这种调整的动机是促进在真实的分布式应用程序中使用ART原则，而不是用于实验的集中测试平台。本文将ART测试平台提出的协议改编为最流行的Agent平台JADE的编码。为了便于使用，该实现遵循一个与JADE发行版中包含的FIPA协议一致的API。我们还用一个本体来补充协议的相应发起者和响应者的行为，该本体由一系列概念、谓词和代理动作组成，可以表示为ART应用领域和任何其他面向服务的领域。该方案被设计用于需要多代理电子商务解决方案的领域。未来的工作包括在上下文感知场景(如机场)中集成该本体和协议。

The paper presents an application of genetic algorithms to the problem of input variables selection for the design of neural systems. The basic idea of the proposed method lies in the use of genetic algorithms in order to select the set of variables to be fed to the neural networks. However, the main concept behind this approach is far more general and does not depend on the particular adopted model: it can be used for a wide category of systems, also non-neural, and with a variety of performance indicators. The proposed method has been tested on a simple case study, in order to demonstrate its effectiveness. The results obtained in the processing of experimental data are presented and discussed.

The stock market volatility and the actual stock exchange activity have increased the need of counting with effective methods on the part of financial analysts to achieve a division in relation to the investment actions, being also growing the demand of methodological instruments that reduce and minimize the risks and uncertainty when valuating financial actives and companies. These systems not only must use quantitative information but the inclusion of qualitative information must also bear heavily on them, as an improvement element in the adjustment of these valuating methods, with the aim of throwing a more well-conceived or less mistaken decision. In this work, we present an alternative strategic assessment of business based in quantitative information.

This paper describes a procedure to evaluate the performance of ship detection algorithms for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) using real SAR images and Automatic Identification System (AIS) data as ground truth. Accurate AIS-SAR data association is achieved by correcting the AIS data for the SAR induced position errors by exploiting SAR acquisition parameters and vessel state information (speed and course) provided by AIS tracks. The methodology has been tested on a ship detection algorithm based on mathematical morphology which is described in this paper. The evaluation has been carried out on a RADARSAT-2 data set including images at different acquisition modes which was collected in the Mediterranean Sea. Estimates for the detection and the false alarm probability, and the contact position error are provided.

Metadata is the key to describe Learning Objects. Through them, we can search and reuse these resources. However, there are pedagogical and usability characteristics that metadata do not normally contain. Sources of additional information such as activity log registers in repositories can help to specify such attributes. Data mining techniques allow identifying Learning Objects usability characteristics. This paper presents the results of applying a knowledge extraction methodology to Learning Objects through the use of four data sources: metadata, pedagogical quality evaluations, user’s profiles, and log files from Learning Objects management systems.
