A Fast Inference and Type-Reduction Process for Constrained Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Systems (2020)
Journal Article
D'Alterio, P., Garibaldi, J. M., John, R. I., & Wagner, C. (2021). A Fast Inference and Type-Reduction Process for Constrained Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Systems. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 29(11), 3323-3333. https://doi.org/10.1109/TFUZZ.2020.3018379

Constrained interval type-2 (CIT2) fuzzy sets have been introduced to preserve interpretability when moving from type-1 to interval type-2 (IT2) membership functions. Although they can be used to produce type-2 fuzzy systems with enhanced explainabil... Read More about A Fast Inference and Type-Reduction Process for Constrained Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Systems.

Insights from interval-valued ratings of consumer products - a DECSYS appraisal (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ellerby, Z., Miles, O., McCulloch, J., & Wagner, C. (2020, July). Insights from interval-valued ratings of consumer products - a DECSYS appraisal. Presented at 2020 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE), Glasgow, United Kingdom

The capture and analysis of interval-valued data has seen increased interest over recent years. This offers a direct means to capture and reason about uncertainty in data, whether obtained from sensors or from people. Open-source software (DECSYS [1]...

Towards a Framework for Capturing Interpretability of Hierarchical Fuzzy Systems - A Participatory Design Approach (2020)
Journal Article
Soria, D., Razak, T. R., Garibaldi, J. M., Pourabdollah, A., & Wagner, C. (2021). Towards a Framework for Capturing Interpretability of Hierarchical Fuzzy Systems - A Participatory Design Approach. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 29(5), 1160-1172. https://doi.org/10.1109/tfuzz.2020.2969901

Hierarchical fuzzy systems (HFSs) have been shown to have the potential to improve the interpretability of fuzzy logic systems (FLSs). However, challenges remain, such as: "How can we measure their interpretability?", "How can we make an informed ass...

Exploring How Component Factors and Their Uncertainty Affect Judgements of Risk in Cyber-Security (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ellerby, Z., McCulloch, J., Wilson, M., & Wagner, C. (2019, September). Exploring How Component Factors and Their Uncertainty Affect Judgements of Risk in Cyber-Security. Presented at CRITIS 2019 : 14th International Conference on Critical Information Infrastructures Security, Linköping, Sweden

Subjective judgements from experts provide essential information when assessing and modelling threats in respect to cyber-physical systems. For example, the vulnerability of individual system components can be described using multiple factors, such a...

On the Choice of Similarity Measures for Type-2 Fuzzy Sets (2019)
Journal Article
McCulloch, J., & Wagner, C. (2020). On the Choice of Similarity Measures for Type-2 Fuzzy Sets. Information Sciences, 510, 135-154. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2019.09.027

Similarity measures are among the most common methods of comparing type-2 fuzzy sets and have been used in numerous applications. However, deciding how to measure similarity and choosing which existing measure to use can be difficult. Whilst some mea...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pekaslan, D., Wagner, C., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2019, June). Leveraging IT2 Input Fuzzy Sets in Non-Singleton Fuzzy Logic Systems to Dynamically Adapt to Varying Uncertainty Levels. Presented at 2019 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE), New Orleans, LA, USA

Most real-world environments are subject to different sources of uncertainty which may vary in magnitude over time. We propose that while Type-1 (T1) Non-Singleton Fuzzy Logic System (NSFLSs) have the potential to tackle uncertainty within the input...
