We analyse dominance solvability (by iterated elimination of weakly dominated strategies) of voting games with three candidates and provide sufficient and necessary conditions for the Borda Count to yield a unique winner. We find that Borda is the unique scoring rule that is dominance solvable both (i) under unanimous agreement on a best candidate and (ii) under unanimous agreement on a worst c...

of four different types of fuzzy aggregation methods in classification of epilepsy risk levels from EEG Signal parameters. The fuzzy technique is the first level classifier which works on the EEG Signal extracted features (patterns) such as energy, variance, peaks, events, duration and covariance. These features are obtained from an epoch of 2 seconds in all sixteen channels. Each epoch is samp...

Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators have been integrated in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image classification through the OWA layer. This layer lets CNN integrate global information about early stages, where most architectures only allow exploitation of local information. As a side effect this integration, becomes practical method determination operator weights, which is usua...

Nowadays, using the technology and computers for decision making in a particular field is one of the subjects which in the level of making decisions and industrial managements has been very much noticed. Especially, the decision which on the base of current specific condition is required, such as making decisions in the selection of suitable primary tillage equipment for given conditions of a f...

This contribution addresses the problem of extracting some representative data from complex datasets and connecting them in a directed graph. First we define a degree of representativeness (DoR) inspired of the Borda voting procedure. Secondly we present a method to connect pairwise data using neighborhoods and the DoR as an objective function. We then present case studies as illustrative purpo...

In this article we propose a rank aggregation method for the task of collocations detection. It consists of applying some well-known methods (e.g. Dice method, chi-square test, z-test and likelihood ratio) and then aggregating the resulting collocations rankings by rank distance and Borda score. These two aggregation methods are especially well suited for the task, since the results of each ind...
