A Measure of Structural Complexity of Hierarchical Fuzzy Systems Adapted from Software Engineering (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Hierarchical fuzzy systems (HFSs) have been seen as an effective approach to reduce the complexity of fuzzy logic systems (FLSs), largely as a result of reducing the number of rules. However, it is not clear completely how complexity of HFSs can be m... Read More about A Measure of Structural Complexity of Hierarchical Fuzzy Systems Adapted from Software Engineering.

On the Choice of Similarity Measures for Type-2 Fuzzy Sets (2019)
Journal Article

Similarity measures are among the most common methods of comparing type-2 fuzzy sets and have been used in numerous applications.

Similarity between interval-valued fuzzy sets taking into account the width of the intervals and admissible orders (2019)
Journal Article

In this work we study a new class of similarity measures between interval-valued fuzzy sets. The novelty of our approach lays, firstly, on the fact that we develop all the notions with respect to total orders of intervals; and secondly, on that we co...

Measuring similarity between discontinuous intervals : challenges and solutions (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Discontinuous intervals (DIs) arise in a wide range of contexts, from real world data capture of human opinion to ?-cuts of non-convex fuzzy sets. Commonly, for assessing the similarity of DIs, the latter are converted into their continuous form, fol...
