In this paper, we analyse and evaluate several heuristics for adding songs to a dynamically generated playlist. We explain how radio logs can be used for evaluating such heuristics, and show that formalizing the heuristics using fuzzy set theory simplifies the analysis. More concretely, we verify previous results by means of a large scale evaluation based on 1.26 million listening patterns extr...

Feel lonely? What about reading books? Book is one of the greatest friends to accompany while in your lonely time. When you have no friends and activities somewhere and sometimes, reading book can be a great choice. This is not only for spending the time, it will increase the knowledge. Of course the b=benefits to take will relate to what kind of book that you are reading. And now, we will conc...

In this paper, using the idea of quasi-coincidence of a fuzzy point with a fuzzy set, the concept of (∈,∈ ∨q)fuzzy interior ideals in a Γ-semigroup has been introduced and some of their important related properties have been investigated. Characterizations of regular Γsemigroups, intra-regular Γ-semigroups, and semisimple Γ-semigroups in terms of (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy interior ideals have also been ob...

This paper describes a multi-method approach to assessment of similarity of categorical maps. The assessment incorporates several newly developed comparison methods. Some are related to the Kappa statistic, others are applications of Fuzzy Set theory. By combining the methods a broad assessment of similarity will be obtained, which makes it possible to find the magnitude, nature and spatial dis...

Just like rough set theory, fuzzy set theory addresses the topic of dealing with imperfect knowledge. Recent investigations have shown how both theories can be combined into a more flexible, more expressive framework for modelling and processing incomplete information in information systems. At the same time, intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been proposed as an attractive extension of fuzzy sets,...

Granular structure plays a very important role in the model construction, theoretical analysis and algorithm design of a granular computing method. The granular structures of classical rough sets and fuzzy rough sets have been proven to be clear. In classical rough set theory, equivalence classes are basic granules, and the lower and upper approximations of a set can be computed by those basic ...
