Symmetric Pythagorean Fuzzy Weighted Geometric/Averaging Operators and Their Application in Multicriteria Decision-Making Problems

Abstract: Pythagorean fuzzy sets PFSs, originally proposed by Yager, are a new tool to deal with vagueness with the square sum of the membership degree and the nonmembership degree equal to or less than 1, which have much stronger ability than Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets to model such uncertainty. In this paper, we modify the existing score function and accuracy function for Pythagorean fuzzy number to make it conform to PFSs. Associated with the given operational laws, we define some novel Pythagorean fuzzy weighted geometric/averaging operators for Pythagorean fuzzy information, which can neutrally treat the membership degree and the nonmembership degree, and investigate the relationships among these operators and those existing ones. At length, a practical example is provided to illustrate the developed operators and to make a comparative analysis.

AnomalyNet: An Anomaly Detection Network for Video Surveillance

Abstract: Sparse coding-based anomaly detection has shown promising performance, of which the keys are feature learning, sparse representation, and dictionary learning. In this paper, we propose a new neural network for anomaly detection (termed AnomalyNet) by deeply achieving feature learning, sparse representation, and dictionary learning in three joint neural processing blocks. Specifically, to learn better features, we design a motion fusion block accompanied by a feature transfer block to enjoy the advantages of eliminating noisy background, capturing motion, and alleviating data deficiency. Furthermore, to address some disadvantages (e.g., nonadaptive updating) of the existing sparse coding optimizers and embrace the merits of neural network (e.g., parallel computing), we design a novel recurrent neural network to learn sparse representation and dictionary by proposing an adaptive iterative hard-thresholding algorithm (adaptive ISTA) and reformulating the adaptive ISTA as a new long short-term memory (LSTM). To the best of our knowledge, this could be one of the first works to bridge the $\ell _{1}$ - solver and LSTM and may provide novel insight into understanding LSTM and model-based optimization (or named differentiable programming), as well as sparse coding-based anomaly detection. Extensive experiments show the state-of-the-art performance of our method in the abnormal events detection task.
