The axiomatic approach is as important as the constructive approach in rough set theory. In this paper, we continue to study axiomatic characterizations of -fuzzy rough set. Traditionally, the associativity of the logical connectives plays a vital role in the axiomatic research of existing fuzzy rough set models. However, a grouping function and an overlap function lack the associativity. So we explore a novel axiomatic approach to -upper and -lower fuzzy rough approximation operators without associativity. Further, we provide single axioms to characterize -upper and -lower fuzzy rough approximation operators instead of sets of axioms. Finally, we use single axioms to characterize fuzzy rough approximation operators generated by various kinds of fuzzy relations including serial, reflexive, symmetric, -transitive, -transitive fuzzy relations as well as their compositions.","PeriodicalId":50322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of General Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44292783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, many feature selection algorithms for a discrete feature space are based on the lower approximation or information entropy. However, the calculation of the lower approximation is more cumbersome, and information entropy may result based on equivalence class in a poor selection of features. This paper proposes feature selection algorithm for a discrete feature space by using fuzzy conditional information entropy iterative strategy and matrix operation. Firstly, the fuzzy symmetry relation induced by a discrete feature space is defined. Then, fuzzy conditional and joint information entropy for a discrete feature space are presented, and some properties are obtained. Subsequently, fuzzy conditional information entropy iterative model (FCIEI-model) is proposed. Moreover, difference, block diagonal, and decision block diagonal matrices are introduced. Next, a feature selection algorithm (denoted as FDM-algorithm) on account of FCIEI-model and matrix operations is designed and its time complexity is analyzed. Finally, the performance of the algorithm is evaluated through a series of experiments. The results show that the given algorithm is better than the existing algorithms.","PeriodicalId":50322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of General Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42239079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first propose a semantic representation of the corpus, which automatically generates a semantic graph covering both structural and domain-specific aspects. Then, we propose a query processing pipeline based on a novel data structure for query answers, extracted from this graph, which embeds core information together with structural-based and domain-specific context. This provides users with interpretable search results, helping them understand relevant information and track cross document dependencies. A set of experiments conducted using real-world construction projects from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry shows promising results, which motivates us to further investigate the effectiveness of our proposal in other domains.","PeriodicalId":50322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of General Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45813251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This necessitates the identification of central nodes that are considered substantial for information spread and control. Our research proposes a novel centrality metric, TriBeC to identify the significant nodes in online social networks by utilizing the impact of weighted betweenness extended with network quartiles. The proposed approach introduces a user data-driven centrality measure for the discovery of influential nodes in online social networks. This is based on locating the median with the information flowing upstream and downstream, thereby considering the impact of border nodes lying farthest in the network circumference. Experimental outcomes on Twitter, Facebook, BlogCatalog, Scale-free and Random networks show the outperforming results of topmost 1% TriBeC central nodes over existing counterparts in terms of the percentage of the network being infested with information over time.","PeriodicalId":50322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of General Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47218573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model combines collaborative and content-based filtering with social information using a deep neural architecture based on Generalized Matrix Factorization (GMF) and Hybrid Multilayer Perceptron (HybMLP). Furthermore, for achieving higher recommendation reliability, the hybrid sentiment analysis model is integrated to analyse users’ opinions and infer their preferences. The results of the empirical study performed with three popular datasets show the contribution of both, social information and sentiment analysis on the recommendation performance and that our approach achieves significantly better recommendation accuracy, compared with state-of-the-art recommendation methods.","PeriodicalId":50322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of General Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49178551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of the ever-increasing demands for product quality and economic benefit, intelligent components and devices are implemented, and networked and real-time supervision and control systems are also running in parallel. As a consequence, the level of automation in modern industrial systems is steadily rocketing. In addition, the increased availability of different data types paves the way to stunning scenarios for applying data-driven modeling techniques. The latter are revolutionizing complex systems’ modeling, prediction, and control. Fresh advances in scientific computing witness how data-driven methods can be applied to diverse, complex systems. Applications of Artificial intelligence-based systems play a pivotal role at the crossroads of almost all fields of computer science. Recent advances in big data generation and management have allowed decision-makers to utilize these overwhelming volumes of data for various purposes and analyses. This special issue consists of selected papers from an open call as well as thoroughly revised papers from the 2021 International Conference on Model and Data Engineering (MEDI’2021) held remotely in Tallinn (Estonia) (Attiogbe and Ben Yahia 2021).

A classifier uses four groups of features (textual, linguistic, meta-data, timeline) that exploit a hybrid approach. This approach uses information obtained from the text of tweets by applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to analyse them, such as morphological analysis, syntactic analysis and sentence embedding. Thus, information about the user such as the number of followers and the number of shared posts. Besides, information about tweets such as the number of symbols and the number of hashtags. Moreover, information about the publication date of tweets such as the number of postings in the morning. Finally, statistical techniques to combine and filter the different types of features extracted from the previous steps in order to calculate the distance between the training corpus (the labelled data) and the test corpus (unlabelled data). In addition, the state mentioned statistical techniques are used for detecting the writing style of patients. In general, our method benefits from different types of features and preserves the principle of relativity by taking advantage of fuzzy logic. Our results are encouraging with an accuracy of 78% for the detection of paranoid people and 70% for the detection of the behaviour of these people towards Covid-19.","PeriodicalId":50322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of General Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48538925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
