In this paper, we will investigate the possible role of fuzzy set theory (FST), and more generally the ensemble of technologies and theoretical approaches known as soft computing, as a methodological bridge between hard sciences and humanities. We will try, building on previous works, to investigate the “family links” between these disciplines and show how FST may be of help in promoting a conn...

In this paper some research trends in the field of Information Retrieval are presented. The focus is on the definition of flexible systems, i.e. systems that can represent and manage the vagueness and uncertainty which is characteristic of the process of information searching and retrieval. In this paper the application of soft computing techniques is considered, in particular fuzzy set theory.

Knowledge distillation (KD) has proved to be an effective approach for deep neural network compression, which learns a compact (student) by transferring the knowledge from pre-trained, over-parameterized (teacher). In traditional KD, transferred is usually obtained feeding training samples teacher obtain class probabilities. However, original dataset not always available due storage costs or pr...

In this paper, by defining soft ditopological spaces, a new approach to the soft topology via softset theory is made, with defining two structures on a soft set a soft topology and a softsubspace topology. Moreover, separation axioms in soft ditopological spaces are characterizedand the relations between soft topological and soft ditopological structures are investigated.Referen...

Our aim in this paper is to introduce the notion of fuzzy soft near-subtraction semigroups and fuzzy soft ideals of near-subtraction semigroups. We discuss some important properties of these new fuzzy algebraic structure and investigate some examples and counter examples.

Soft Computing techniques play an important role for decision in applications with imprecise and uncertain knowledge. The application of soft computing disciplines is rapidly emerging for the diagnosis and prognosis in medical applications. Between various soft computing techniques, fuzzy expert system takes advantage of fuzzy set theory to provide computing with uncertain words. In a fuzzy exp...
