Exploring Users' Preferences in a Fuzzy Setting
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a new method for modelling users’ preferences on attributes that contain more than one trait. Starting with a data set the users have to enter a sort of order on the attributes in form of formulas corresponding to their preferences. Based on this order they only receive the relevant formal concepts, i.e., “object-attribute clusters”, where relevant corresponds to the users’ point of view. The preference modelling is done within the framework of Formal Fuzzy Concept Analysis. This has numerous advantages. First, the relevant information is contained in a complete lattice, the concept lattice, that allows the users to browse among their preferences. This lattice may be used for further data analysis by applying different methods from Formal Concept Analysis. Second, we can investigate the computation of non-redundant bases for the entered formulas. Since the users are allowed to enter the formulas, these may be redundant. The base offers a better overview of the preferences and thus the formulas can be altered more easily.

Arrow theorems in the fuzzy setting
Throughout this paper, our main idea is to analyze the Arrovian approach in a fuzzy context, paying attention to different extensions of the classical Arrow's model arising in mathematical Social Choice to aggregate preferences that the agents define on a set of alternatives. There is a wide set of extensions. Some of them give rise to an impossibility theorem as in the Arrovian classical mod...
متن کاملELECTRE I-based group decision methodology with risk preferences in an imprecise setting for flexible manufacturing systems
A new hesitant fuzzy set (HFS)-ELECTRE for multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems is developed in this paper. In real-world applications, the decision makers (DMs)’ opinions are often hesitant for decision problems; thus, considering the exact data is difficult. To address the issue, the DMs’ judgments can be expressed as linguistic variables that are converted into the HFSs, con...

In recent two decades, countries focused on minimum extraction of fossil fuels and utilized the renewable energies based on countries' policies and the environmental considerations. Thus, choosing the best renewable energy alternative is a significant role to investment on them. Among the classical decision approaches that have used in the literature, the hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) theory is ap...
متن کاملAttribute Dependencies in a Fuzzy Setting
We present a new framework for modelling users preferences in a fuzzy setting. Starting with a formal fuzzy context, the user enters so-called attribute dependency formulas based on his priorities. The method then yields the “interesting” formal concepts, that is, interesting from the point of view of the user. Our approach is designed for compounded attributes, i.e., attributes which include m...

With the expansion of social networks, the use of recommender systems in these networks has attracted considerable attention. Recommender systems have become an important tool for alleviating the information that overload problem of users by providing personalized recommendations to a user who might like based on past preferences or observed behavior about one or various items. In these systems...
