Aggregation processes are fundamental in any discipline where the fusion of information is of vital interest. For aggregating binary fuzzy relations such as equivalence relations or fuzzy orderings, the question arises which aggregation operators preserve specific properties of the underlying relations, e.g. T -transitivity. It will be shown that preservation of T -transitivity is closely relat...

Previous phonetic studies of metrical prominence have primarily focused on its acoustic manifestations, including pitch, intensity, duration, spectral tilt, etc. In this paper we outline our new research program in which we explore jaw displacement patterns as another articulatory reflex of metrical prominence. We present our studies of English and Japanese in some detail, which show that jaw m...

This research addresses system reliability analysis using weakest t-norm based approximate intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic operations, where failure probabilities of all components are represented by different types of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Due to the incomplete, imprecise, vague and conflicting information about the component of system, the present study evaluates the reliability of sy...

In this paper a new interaction measure for stable multivariable systems is introduced. The interaction measure, the Hankel Interaction Index, is a dynamic extension of the underlying idea in the classic Relative Gain Array (RGA) and its various extensions. The new index is based upon the Hankel norm of the SISO elementary subsystems built from the original MIMO system. The main advantage of th...

This paper proposed a novel adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which combines subtract clustering, employs adaptive Hamacher T-norm and improves the prediction ability of ANFIS. The expression of multiinput Hamacher T-norm and its relative feather has been originally given, which supports the operation of the proposed system. Empirical study has testified that the proposed model ove...

In multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems, prioritization is sometimes important. Several techniques and methods have been introduced in fuzzy systems to use prioritization. The main purpose of this paper propose prioritized aggregation operators (AOs) for intuitionistic (IF) information. These AOs are symmetric nature based on the novel Aczel–Alsina t-norm t-conorm. Herein, we ...

We present evidence from a laboratory experiment showing that individuals who believe they were treated unfairly in an interaction with another person are more likely to cheat in a subsequent unrelated game. Specifically, subjects first participated in a dictator game. They then flipped a coin in private and reported the outcome. Subjects could increase their total payoff by cheating, i.e., lyi...

We consider the problem of decomposing a group norm into a set of individual obligations for the agents comprising the group, such that if the individual obligations are fulfilled, the group obligation is fulfilled. Such an assignment of tasks to agents is often subject to additional social or organisational norms that specify permissible ways in which tasks can be assigned. An important type o...

The goal of cross-show diarization is to index speech segments of speakers from a set of shows, with the particular challenge that reappearing speakers across shows have to be labeled with the same speaker identity. In this paper, we introduce three cross-show diarization systems namely Global-BIC-Seg, Global-BIC-Cluster, and Incremental. We compared the three systems on a set of 46 English sci...
