The extent of failure evaluation depends on the complexity and significance electronic products. However, traditional mode effect analysis (FMEA) has many shortcomings, which brings large difficulty to evaluating work. This paper uses double hierarchy hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (DHHFLTS) K-means clustering algorithm improve shortcomings FMEA. DHHFLTS is a language terms based symmetry m...

Abstract This study proposes a primary node election method based on probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) for the practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) consensus mechanism to effectively enhance efficiency of reaching consensus. Specifically, novel concept with confidence interval (PLTS-CI) is presented express uncertain complex voting information nodes during election. Then, score fun...

The subject of this research is linguistic (or: language) audit. The term is new and not being widely used so far. Linguistic audit, in particular, is offered as a service of linguistic-consulting agencies’ activities. Modern linguistic consulting, according to the author, is a form of stimulating theoretical and practical development of linguistic ecology, a new branch of applied linguistics, ...

Fuzzy systems built on sparse rule bases apply special inference techniques. A large family of them can be described by the concept of the general methodology of the fuzzy rule interpolation (GM) [1]. Accordingly to this the conclusion is produced in two steps. First a new rule is interpolated corresponding to the position of the reference point of the observation in each antecedent dimension. ...

Decision making is a process common to human beings. The uncertainty and fuzziness of problems demand the use of the fuzzy linguistic approach to model qualitative aspects of problems related to decision. The recent proposal of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets supports the elicitation of comparative linguistic expressions in hesitant situations when experts hesitate among different linguisti...

Persistent queries are a specific kind of queries used in information retrieval systems to represent a user’s long-term standing information need. These queries can present many different structures, being the “bag of words” that most commonly used. They can be sometimes formulated by the user, although this task is usually difficult for him and the persistent query is then automatically derive...

The main purpose of this paper is to suggest an approach of multi-criteria decision-making that combines a hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) with an outranking method involving systematic comparisons of the assessment values of alternatives for each criterion. A HFLTS is more suitable than the traditional fuzzy linguistic set for describing decision-makers’ preferences when they prefer...

Abstract—Considering its need to trade-off multiple criteria exhibiting vagueness and imprecision, supplier selection is an important multi-criteria decision making problem. Vague and imprecise judgments inherent in numerous features of supplier selection call for using linguistic assessments rather than exact numerical values. In this paper, a novel fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making a...

Fuzzy approach deals with the linguistic properties of elements such as beauty, coldness, hotness etc. Collocations are linguistically motivated. Decision of word combination for being collocation is a linguistic term as merely co-occurrence of word combinations does not signify the presence of collocation. Thus collocation extraction can be made possible by looking its linguistic aspect. In th...
