The fuzzy attention layer integrated into the transformer encoder model to analyze complex psychological phenomena from neural signals captured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). By leveraging fuzzy logic, the fuzzy attention layer learns and identifies interpretable patterns of neural activity. This addresses a significant challenge in using transformers: the lack of transparency in determining which specific brain activities most contribute to particular predictions. Our experimental results, obtained from fNIRS data engaged in social interactions involving handholding, reveal that the fuzzy attention layer not only learns interpretable patterns of neural activity but also enhances model performance. In addition, these patterns provide deeper insights into the neural correlates of interpersonal touch and emotional exchange. The application of our model shows promising potential in understanding the complex aspects of human social behavior, verify psychological theory with machine learning algorithms, thereby contributing significantly to the fields of social neuroscience and AI.","PeriodicalId":13212,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"33 5","pages":"1664-1677"},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the inference engine of such a system, the current inputs are used to forecast the likely outputs. The unpredictability of one (or more) inputs in the forecasting horizon, gives rise to one source of uncertainty in the reasoning process, named evidence uncertainty, which is the main focus of this article. To deal with this sort of uncertainty numerical scenarios are generated from historical data to substitute the uncertain input parameter using two approaches: Uniform sampling, and a classical nonuniform sampling acceptance–rejection method. Each input scenario has particular output, and at the end these outputs are aggregated with the discrete Choquet integral to account for outputs' dependencies. Fuzzy measures, also called capacities or nonadditive measures, assign the importance weight not to just each scenario but also to groups of scenarios. A fuzzy measure for the Choquet integral is learned from the historical data. The proposed reasoning approach is evaluated in a long-term relative electricity load forecasting, and treats the uncertainty which arises from unpredictability of the daily temperature in the long run. The results show the superiority of the proposed Choquet integral-based approach with respect to the <inline-formula><tex-math>$k$</tex-math></inline-formula>-interactive, <inline-formula><tex-math>$k$</tex-math></inline-formula>-additive, and <inline-formula><tex-math>$k$</tex-math></inline-formula>-tolerant fuzzy measures compared to traditional aggregators: the weighted arithmetic mean, and the ordered weighted averaging.","PeriodicalId":13212,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"33 4","pages":"1379-1390"},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142988968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, intermittently controlled fractional-order fuzzy multilayer complex networks with short memory and noninstantaneous impulses are considered, which give rise to a new, hybrid dynamical system that offers a wide range of applications. By employing a discontinuously intermittent control scheme, the exponential stability issue of the above-mentioned networks is studied and supported by the Lyapunov method and graph theory. In the analysis of exponential stability, stabilized and destabilized noninstantaneous impulsive effects are discussed respectively. Ultimately, main results are applied in the typical model of fractional-order competitive neural networks, and illustrative numerical simulations are conducted to show the effectiveness of theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":13212,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"33 5","pages":"1639-1649"},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is primarily oriented to all decision classes, which contradicts the fact that decisions are typically for the specific decision classes. Meanwhile, most S3WD models hide the topological structure of the granules, leading to difficulties in semantic interpretation. To address the issues, integrating model construction, attribute reduction and knowledge extraction, a general framework of granular sequential three-way decision for the specific decision classes is proposed to improve semantic interpretation and computational efficiency. First, a two-stage trisecting strategy and a GrS3WD model are proposed to integrate model construction with attribute reduction. Its main advantage is that it retains the topological structure of granules, which not only enhances semantic interpretation, but also avoids unnecessary double counting. Second, three acceleration strategies and a novel granular sequential three-way reduction (GrS3WR) algorithm are proposed to fast obtain a classification-based reduct or a class-specific reduct. Finally, the decision rules with multigranularity can be directly extracted from the concept tree generated by GrS3WR. Experimental results demonstrate that a class-specific reduct usually has fewer attributes and better classification performance than a classification-based reduct. Moreover, GrS3WR can significantly improve the computational efficiency of attribute reduction.","PeriodicalId":13212,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"33 5","pages":"1650-1663"},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
