“Heart and Mind” Evaluation

Toshiaki Murofushi, pp. 439-439

Special Interest Group in Evaluation (SIG Eval) of Japan Society for Fuzzy Theory and intelligent informatics was founded by Professor Hisao Shiizuka, Kogakuin University, in 1993 to facilitate the exchange of research information within Japan on evaluation problems. Since 1996, SIG Eval has held an annual workshop, the Workshop on Evaluation of Heart and Mind. In addition to the workshop, SIG Eval has edited this special issue on “Heart and Mind” Evaluation. Contributors include those who often speak at the workshop.

The first article, “Feasibility Study on Marketing Research Using Eye Movement: An Investigation of Image Presentation using an Eye Camera and Data Processing,” by Shin'ya Nagasawa, Sora Yim, and Hitoshi Hongo, asserts that, in physiological experiments using an eye camera, the user's interest influences purchasing behavior.
The second article, “Statistical Image Analysis of Psychological Projective Drawings,” by Kazuhisa Takemura, Iyuki Takasaki, and Yumi Iwamitsu, discusses the use of statistical image analysis to overcome the difficulty in assessing the reliability of projective drawing techniques.
The third article, “Fuzzy Least Squares Regression Analysis for Social Judgment Study,” by Kazuhisa Takemura, proposes fuzzy regression analysis in which a dependent variable, independent variables, and regression parameters are represented by triangular fuzzy numbers.
The fourth to sixth articles discuss fuzzy measures, or capacities, which are quite popular for their application in subjective evaluation.
The fourth article, “Identification of Fuzzy Measures with Distorted Probability Measures,” by Aoi Honda and Yoshiaki Okazaki, classifies fuzzy measures by introducing the concept of order type, and proposes the method of identifying fuzzy measure μ as a distorted probability of the same, or similar, order type as μ
The fifth article, “Semiatoms in Choquet Integral Models of Multiattribute Decision Making,” by Toshiaki Murofushi, characterizes the concept of the semiatom in fuzzy measure theory in the multiattribute preference relation represented by a Choquet integral.
The last article, “Some Characterizations of k-Monotonicity through the Bipolar Mö{o}bius Transform in Bi-Capacities,” by Katsushige Fujimoto and Toshiaki Murofushi, proposes the bipolar Mö{o}bius transform as an extension of the conventional Mö{o}bius transform of capacities to that of bi-capacities; the concept of bi-capacity was proposed by Grabisch and Labreuche (2002) for modeling decision making on a bipolar scale.

We thank the reviewers and contributers for their time and effort in making this special issue possible, and we wish to thank the JACIII editorial board, especially Professors Kaoru Hirota and Toshio Fukuda, the Editors-in-Chief, and Kenta Uchino, Managing Editor, for their support and advice in putting this special issue together.

I have assumed the role of General Chair of the Joint Conference of the Third International Conference on Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems and the Seventh International Symposium on Advanced Intelligent Systems (SCIS & ISIS 2006), to be held at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, on September 20--24, 2006. As is customary, selected papers will be published in special issues of this journal. We invite you to submit your research papers and to participate in SCIS & ISIS 2006.

Special Issue

Editorial:

From Basic Research to Applications

Jorma K. Mattila, pp. 497-497

Forty years have passed since Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh introduced fuzzy set theory in his known article “Fuzzy Sets” in Information and Control, 8, 1965, sparking new development in information technology and automation. This article also formed the roots of the Fuzzy Systems Research Group, an active part of the Laboratory of Applied Mathematics, Lappeenranta University of Technology. Rough set theory, evolutionary computing, and neural computing followed, together with their combinations. This Special Issue presents 10 papers representing these areas.

Many of the contributors of this Special Issue belong to the Fuzzy Systems Research Group and others work in close co-operations with this group.

The first paper considers the use of linguistically expressed objectives in multicriteria decision-making in selection processes based on topological similarity M-relations between L-sets.
The second presents basic ideas and fundamental concepts of rough set theory and considers properties of rough approximations.
The third combines Lukasiewicz logics and modifier algebras based on Zadeh algebras, i.e., quasi-Boolean algebras of membership functions.
The fourth applies Mö{o}bius transformations, known in complex analysis, to fuzzy subgroups in a topological point of view.
The fifth discusses the stability of a classifier based on the Lukasiewicz structure and tests Schweizer and Sklar's implications with an extension to generalized mean to a classification task.
The sixth deals with the interpretability problem of first-order Takagi-Sugeno systems and interpolation issues, developing a special two-model configuration.
The seventh describes an expert system for defining an athlete's aerobic and anaerobic thresholds that successfully mimics decision-making by sport medicine professionals, with system functionality based on fuzzy comparison measures, generalized means, fuzzy membership functions, and differential evolution.
The eighth applies a differential evolution algorithm-based method to training radial basis function networks with variables including centers, weights, and widths.
The ninth compares two floating-point-encoded evolutionary algorithms – differential evolution and a generalized generation gap model – using a set of problems with different characteristics.
The tenth proposes a new approach for monitoring break tendency of paper webs on modern paper machines, combining linguistic equations and fuzzy logic in a case-based reasoning framework.

As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue, I thank the contributors and reviewers for their time and effort in making this special issue possible. I am also grateful to the JACIII editorial board, especially Prof. Kaoru Hirota, the Editors-in-Chief and Managing Editor Kenta Uchino, and the staff of Fuji Technology Press for the opportunity to participate in this work. I also thank Prof. Kaoru Hirota for organizing the reviewing of my paper.
