In this work we extend to the interval-valued setting the notion of an overlap functions and we discuss a method which makes use of interval-valued overlap functions for constructing OWA operators with interval-valued weights. . Some properties of intervalvalued overlap functions and the derived interval-valued OWA operators are analysed. We specially focus on the homogeneity and migrativity properties. Keywords Interval-valued fuzzy sets interval-valued overlap functions Interval-valued overlap OWA operators interval weighted vector migrativity homogeneity 1 Introduction Interval-valued fuzzy sets [62] have been succesfully applied in many different problems. Just to mention some of the most recent ones, interval-valued fuzzy sets have been used in decision making(see, e.g., theworksbyKhalilandHassan[36]andChengetal. They have also been the origin of rich theoretical studies, as, for instance, the works by Bedregal et al. [3, 7], Dimuro et al. [28], Reiser et al. [48] and the recent works by Zywica et al. [64] and Takác [55]. From the point of view of applications, interval-valued fuzzy sets are a suitable tool to represent uncertain or incomplete information. In particular, the length of the intervalvalued membership degree of a given element can be understood as a measure of the lack of certainty of the expert for providing an exact membership value to that element [44].

There are huge numbers of variants of deep architectures as it's a fast developing field and so it helps to mention other leading algorithms. The list is intended to be comprehensive but not exhaustive since so many algorithms are being developed [1] [2][1],[2]. Additionally, Fuzzy logic models can also be used with other models such as decision trees, hidden Markov and Bayesian and artificial neural networks to model complicated risk issues like policyholder behaviours. A risk assessment and decision-making platform for ratemaking built on a fuzzy logic system can provide consistency when analyzing risks with limited data and knowledge. It allows people to focus on the foundation of risk assessment, which involves the cause-and-effect relationship between key factors as well as the exposure for each individual risk.

Arthur C. Clarke famously stated that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." No current technology embodies this statement more than neural networks and deep learning. And like any good magic it not only dazzles and inspires but also puts fear into people's hearts. One known property of artificial neural networks (ANNs) is that they are universal function approximators. This means that any mathematical function can be represented by a neural network.

The author has performed an excellent job in explaining the fundamental ideas and practical methods of different AI techniques. AI problems in the field ( pattern recognition, speech and image processing, classification, planning, optimization, control, time-series and analogy-based prediction, diagnosis, decision making and game simulations) are discussed and illustrated with examples . Especially useful are the comparisons between different techniques (AI rule Cbased methods, fuzzy methods, connectionist methods, and hybrid systems for knowledge engineering) used to solve the same or similar problems. The presented text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as a reference for researchers in the field of knowledge engineering.The book¡ s appendices summarize data sets for the examples in the book. All data sets are available through anonymous FTP.

PsiberLogic is a completely free, open-source fuzzy logic controller package for Python 3. Psibernetix proudly supports the amazing Python community, and is happy to contribute to Python's open-source movement. This package is for anyone seeking a high-performance, python3-callable package for creating fuzzy logic controllers. Details on ALPHA – a significant breakthrough in the application of what's called genetic-fuzzy systems are published in the most-recent issue of the Journal of Defense Management, as this application is specifically designed for use with Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs) in simulated air-combat missions for research purposes. The tools used to create ALPHA as well as the ALPHA project have been developed by Psibernetix, Inc., recently founded by UC College of Engineering and Applied Science 2015 doctoral graduate Nick Ernest, now president and CEO of the firm; as well as David Carroll, programming lead, Psibernetix, Inc.; with supporting technologies and research from Gene Lee; Kelly Cohen, UC aerospace professor; Tim Arnett, UC aerospace doctoral student; and Air Force Research Laboratory sponsors. ALPHA is currently viewed as a research tool for manned and unmanned teaming in a simulation environment.

In the IT world it is very important to get things exactly right, unless of course you are dealing with fuzzy logic. If your banking system, for example, is out by a decimal place, this can lead to some very unhappy customers or some very happy ones and a less than happy bank. There are many areas where calculations and units of measure are vital, just ask one of the Mars exploration landing teams. Not so obvious are making sure that things like translation services are accurate, as Microsoft found out recently. The Bing search engine saw some very red-faced Redmondites when Saudi Arabian users found that "Daesh" has been translated as "Saudi Arabia". For those not familiar with the term, Daesh is one name for Isis.

This paper describes a series of new qualitative spatial logics for checking consistency of sameAs and partOf matches between spatial objects from different geospatial datasets, especially from crowd-sourced datasets. Since geometries in crowd-sourced data are usually not very accurate or precise, we buffer geometries by a margin of error or a level of tolerance, and define spatial relations for buffered geometries. The spatial logics formalize the notions of `buffered equal' (intuitively corresponding to `possibly sameAs'), `buffered part of' (`possibly partOf'), `near' (`possibly connected') and `far' (`definitely disconnected'). A sound and complete axiomatisation of each logic is provided with respect to models based on metric spaces. For each of the logics, the satisfiability problem is shown to be NP-complete. Finally, we briefly describe how the logics are used in a system for generating and debugging matches between spatial objects, and report positive experimental evaluation results for the system.

High costs of treatment, long waiting time, affordability of airfares to overseas destinations and favorable exchange rate change are crucial factors related to the fast growth of Medical Tourism (Connell, 2006). Rapid development of medical infrastructure with international standards and certification, easy availability of skilled manpower bring South Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and India at the forefront in this area. With current annual growth of 13.0 percent, the Indian health care sector contributes about $ 23 billion (nearly 4 percent of GDP) to the Indian economy, with'foreign exchange earning around $1.8 billion' (Chakraborty, 2006). Although research studies are abundant focusing on social impacts of Medical Tourism, there is no proper methodology for customers, both foreign and domestic, to assess the medical tourist destination in any country. The problem can be solved by taking the interest of stakeholder's in assessing the weights of a multiple criteria set, namely medical infrastructure, logistics service providers, 1 government policy along with city demography. Therefore, assessment of desirable medical destination selection and evaluation problem can be considered decision making problem with multiple attributes varying from consumer demands to resource constraints of medical related industry. In this regard, MCDM has become a very crucial area of management research and decision theory with lots of methods developed, extended and modified in solving problems in the present and past few decades.

Exploration of hydrocarbon resources is a highly complicated and expensive process where various geological, geochemical and geophysical factors are developed then combined together. It is highly significant how to design the seismic data acquisition survey and locate the exploratory wells since incorrect or imprecise locations lead to waste of time and money during the operation. The objective of this study is to locate high-potential oil and gas field in 1: 250,000 sheet of Ahwaz including 20 oil fields to reduce both time and costs in exploration and production processes. In this regard, 17 maps were developed using GIS functions for factors including: minimum and maximum of total organic carbon (TOC), yield potential for hydrocarbons production (PP), Tmax peak, production index (PI), oxygen index (OI), hydrogen index (HI) as well as presence or proximity to high residual Bouguer gravity anomalies, proximity to anticline axis and faults, topography and curvature maps obtained from Asmari Formation subsurface contours. To model and to integrate maps, this study employed artificial neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) methods. The results obtained from model validation demonstrated that the 17x10x5 neural network with R=0.8948, RMS=0.0267, and kappa=0.9079 can be trained better than other models such as ANFIS and predicts the potential areas more accurately. However, this method failed to predict some oil fields and wrongly predict some areas as potential zones.
