There has been an increasing interest in properties of complex networks, such as small-world property, power-law degree distribution, and network transitivity which seem to be common to many real world networks. In this study, a useful community detection method based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) technique is presented. Based on a popular modular function, a proper feature matrix ...

Data is often partially known, vague or ambiguous in many real world applications. To deal with such imprecise information, fuzziness is introduced in the classical model. SQLf is one of the practical language to deal with flexible fuzzy querying in Fuzzy DataBases (FDB). However, with a huge amount of fuzzy data, the necessity to work with synthetic views became a challenge for many DB communi...

The need for trading off interpretability and accuracy is intrinsic to the use of fuzzy systems. The obtaining of accurate but also human-comprehensible fuzzy systems played a key role in Zadeh and Mamdani’s seminal ideas and system identification methodologies. Nevertheless, before the advent of soft computing, accuracy progressively became the main concern of fuzzy model builders, making the ...

The paper sets forth in detail categorically-algebraic or catalg foundations for the operations of taking the image and preimage of (fuzzy) sets called forward and backward powerset operators. Motivated by an open question of S. E. Rodabaugh, we construct a monad on the category of sets, the algebras of which generate the fixed-basis forward powerset operator of L. A. Zadeh. On the next step, w...

Fuzzy logic and fuzzy systems have recently been receiving a lot of attention, both from the media and scientific community, yet the basic techniques were originally developed in the mid-sixties. Fuzzy logic provides a formalism for implementing expert or heuristic rules on computers, and while this is the main goal in the field of expert or knowledge-based systems, fuzzy systems have had consi...

6 ABSTRACT Fuzzy logic plays an important role in the field of medicine. Many diseases are diagnosed using fuzzy logic. Heart disease is the number one killer to the human community throughout the world. This study was conducted to diagnosis the heart disease among the patients. The components of this study are Fuzzification, Generating rules for Advanced Fuzzy Resolution Mechanism and defuzzif...

Traditionaly, fuzzy logic has been viewed in the AI community as an approach for managing uncertainty. In the 1990's, however, fuzzy logic has emerged as a paradigm for approximating a functional mapping. This complementary mordern view about the technology offers new insights about the foundation of fuzzy logic as well as new challenges regarding the identification of fuzzy models. In this pap...

In complex network analysis, fuzzy community detection is a challenging task that aims to reveal the network structure by assigning each vertex quantitative membership-degrees to various communities. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy community detection method that iteratively propagates membership-degrees of all vertices. In each iteration, a candidate seed vertex of a potential community is f...

Evaluation of the Business Intelligence (BI) competencies of port community systems before they are bought and deployed is a vital importance for establishment of a decision-support environment for managers. This study proposes a new model which provides a simple approach to the assessment of the BI competencies of port community systems in organization. This approach helps decision-makers to s...
