Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of fuzzy systems has reached various areas, such as financial trade, medicine, transportation, telecommunications, and many other engineering and technology dimensions. Interpretability is one of the most appreciated advantages of fuzzy systems, especially in situations with high human interaction, where it benefits by representing and incorporating knowledge in artificial intelligent systems.

Many extended models are improving the practicality and effectiveness of fuzzy systems in engineering and technology. They offer more powerful “human center systems” to analyze uncertainty and extract semantic represented knowledge from big heterogeneous data.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to discuss research, developments, and innovations in fuzzy systems in engineering and technology, interpretable algorithms, and semantic learning. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Fuzzy system and fuzzy inference;
  • Semantic learning;
  • Uncertain knowledge reasoning;
  • Granular computing;
  • Uncertain decision making;
  • Fuzzy dynamic data analysis;
  • Fuzzy rough sets;
  • Cognitive computation;
  • Human-computer interaction;
  • Machine learning.

Advances in interpretable artificial intelligence based on fuzzy theory and its applications are particularly welcome in this Special Issue.

This study introduces the integrated T-spherical fuzzy Einstein interaction aggregator group decision-making approach, a novel framework designed to enhance multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). Implementing the case study of concrete 3D printing technology in Vietnam, this approach integrates T-spherical fuzzy sets with Einstein aggregation operators to handle the complexities of uncertain and subjective expert judgments effectively. The methodology provides a robust mechanism for evaluating and prioritizing the barriers and strategies associated with the implementation of concrete 3D printing. Findings from this study underline the significance of technological advancements and strategic financial incentives, with R&D strategy emerging as the top priority. This research contributes to both theoretical advancements in decision-making frameworks and offers practical insights for industries looking to integrate emerging technologies. Moreover, it demonstrates the application of advanced fuzzy set theories in real-world settings, providing a valuable tool for decision-makers facing similar technological adoption challenges.

In this paper, a stochastic configuration based fuzzy inference system with interpretable fuzzy rules (SCFS-IFRs) is proposed to improve the interpretability and performance of the fuzzy inference system and determine autonomously an appropriate model structure. The proposed SCFS-IFR first accomplishes a fuzzy system through interpretable linguistic fuzzy rules (ILFRs), which endows the system with clear semantic interpretability. Meanwhile, using an incremental learning method based on stochastic configuration, the appropriate architecture of the system is determined by incremental generation of ILFRs under a supervision mechanism. In addition, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, an intelligence search technique, is used in the incremental learning process of ILFRs to obtain better random parameters and improve approximation accuracy. The performance of SCFS-IFRs is verified by regression and classification benchmark datasets. Regression experiments show that the proposed SCFS-IFRs perform best on 10 of the 20 data sets, statistically significantly outperforming the other eight state-of-the-art algorithms. Classification experiments show that, compared with the other six fuzzy classifiers, SCFS-IFRs achieve higher classification accuracy and better interpretation with fewer rules. Full article
