The popularization of Web applications has given rise to new services every day, demanding mechanisms to ensure the credibility of these services. Since now, little has been done to measure and understand the credibility of services on this complex Web environment, which itself is a major research challenge. From the challenges related to the task of assigning a credibility value to an online s...

This paper studies three notions of fuzzy dominance based on credibility measure, namely, the fuzzy mean-risk dominance, the first credibilistic dominance and the second credibilistic dominance. More precisely, we introduce and examine some properties of the Fuzzy Lower Partial Moments (FLPM) of a fuzzy variable and, we deduce the Fuzzy Kappa index (FK) of a fuzzy variable, that is, a riskadjus...

Considering corresponding credibility on every evaluation value of interval neutrosophic numbers (INNs) in interval neutrosophic decision making, we put forward two interval neutrosophic weighted aggregation operators considering credibility, including a credibility-induced interval neutrosophic weighted arithmetic averaging (CIINWAA) operator and a credibility-induced interval neutrosophic wei...

The operational effectiveness of the weapon systems is usually evaluated by the reasonable simulation results. But it is difficult to measure and evaluate the credibility of the simulation data source. An evaluation indices system of the credibility for the simulation data source is built up. A set of quantitative evaluation rules are set up based on the experts’ judgments and the fuzzy express...

Handling uncertainty and vagueness in real world becomes a necessity for developing intelligent and efficient systems. Based on the credibility theory, a fuzzy clustering approach that improves the classification accuracy is targeted by this work. This paper introduces a design of an efficient set of fuzzy rules that are inferred by a hybrid model of SOFM (Self Organized Features Maps) and FRAN...

Introduction. In the current era of digital communication, users share information they consider important, using wikis, blogs and social networking Websites. The digital content includes valuable as well as biased, false and demagogic information. The objectives of this review paper are, i) To understand the perceptions of users regarding Web credibility judgment and the problems faced by them...

BACKGROUND Concerns over health information on the Internet have generated efforts to enhance credibility markers; yet how users actually assess the credibility of online health information is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE This study set out to (1) establish a parsimonious and valid questionnaire instrument to measure credibility of Internet health information by drawing on various previous meas...

We inspect how inflation target announcements are instrumental in building central bank credibility and shaping the public’s inflation expectations. Investigating the role of announcements in two early adopters of inflation targeting by using a time varying credibility measure, we find that both the accuracy and the frequency of inflation announcements have a positive impact on how much attenti...

In this paper, we consider a set of articles or reports by journalists or others, wherein they predict or promise something about future. The problem we approach is determining the credibility of the authors based on the predictions coming out to be true. The two specific problems we address are extracting the predictions from the articles and annotating with various prediction attributes. And ...
