Applying self-attention and temporal convolution techniques is paramount when dealing with time series data. The self-attention mechanism enables the capture of correlations between different time steps in a sequence, thereby facilitating the handling of long-term dependencies. Meanwhile, temporal convolution is designed explicitly for processing time series data, effectively capturing temporal dependencies through convolutional layers. The integration of the two technologies plays a pivotal role in time series analysis, enabling accurate temporal classification. This paper proposes a novel net with fuzzy features and integrated self-attention and temporal convolution, denoted as FDACNet. The proposed net introduces two key components: FD-FE for fuzzy dominated feature extraction, and ATCmix for integrating self-attention and temporal convolution. FD-FE captures trend information by defining gradient relationship between time points within a time series sample. On the other hand, ATCmix combines convolution and self-attention to reduce parameters and enhance efficiency in handling time-series data. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated on twenty datasets and compared against twelve other state-of-the-art approaches. Experimental results demonstrate the superior classification accuracy of the proposed model, showcasing a 5.2% and 7.1% enhancement in average accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art convolution-based and transformer-based methods ModernTCN and iTransformer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13842,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Approximate Reasoning","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 109521"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144534999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a new technique of knowledge reduction, concept reduction has received increasing attention recently. One typical method of calculating concept reducts is based on representative concept matrix (RC-matrix, for short), which can obtain all concept reducts. However, it is confronted with the following challenges: (1) before the construction of the RC-matrix, all concepts of the formal context need to be calculated, which is both time and space consuming; (2) there is a lot of redundant information in the constructed RC-matrix, which is not helpful to calculate the concept reducts; (3) when the data changes dynamically, the concept reducts need to be calculated for scratch. To address these issues, dynamic concept reduction methods based on local information are proposed in this paper. Firstly, the characteristics of the minimal elements (with respect to set inclusion) in the RC-matrix are analyzed, and all the minimal elements are directly labeled from the formal context; secondly, the advantage of local information is taken to construct each minimal elements of the RC-matrix, from which all the concept reducts can be obtained; besides, a new simplified version of RC-matrix, named as Type-I minimal RC-matrix, is further constructed to compute one concept reduct; and finally, when data dynamically changes, the connections between concept reducts of the original formal context and those of the new one are analyzed, consequently, two dynamic concept reduction algorithms are proposed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13842,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Approximate Reasoning","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 109514"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144472111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly, we begin with computing the overall rating of a clique of agents based on positive and negative similarity degrees. Afterwards, considering the weights of both agents and issues, we propose weighted consistency and non-consistency measures, which are respectively used to identify the feasible strategies for a clique of agents. Algorithms are developed to identify feasible strategies, <em>L</em>-order feasible strategies, and the corresponding optimal ones. Finally, to demonstrate the practicality, effectiveness, and superiority of the proposed models, we apply them to two commonly used case studies on NBA labor negotiations and development plans for Gansu Province and conduct a sensitivity analysis on parameters and a comparative analysis with existing state-of-the-art conflict analysis approaches.

This work investigates high-conflict scenarios within an evidential neural network for segmentation in autonomous driving, focusing on the distance-to-prototypes component, where prototypes, derived from feature maps, serve as sources of evidence and may yield contradictory information. Conflict is mitigated through parameter adjustments within the evidential reasoning, enhancing consistency before fusion. This enables more reliable data integration and a valid application of fusion rules and decision-making processes. The proposed rectification is validated on two prototype configurations of a deep evidential lidar-camera cross-fusion architecture, using two distance-based decision strategies and adapted metrics.
