TL;DR: This study presents a possible relationship between two main objects, which are three-dimensional copulas (3D-Cs) and geometric picture fuzzy numbers (GPFNs), and presents the theorems related to these two objects.
Abstract: This study presents a possible relationship between two main objects, which are three-dimensional copulas (3D-Cs) and geometric picture fuzzy numbers (GPFNs). This opens up a potential field for future studies for these two objects that three-dimensional copulas can become useful tools for handling uncertainty information in the form of a picture fuzzy set (PFS). Specifically, we define a GPFN as a base element of the PFS and a defined domain of three-dimensional copulas that contains a set of GPFNs, then we show some examples of three-dimensional copulas identified on this domain. In this framework, we present the theorems related to these two objects. At the same time, we provide some examples for three-dimensional semi-copulas, three-dimensional quasi-copulas, and three-dimensional empirical copulas defined on D, which is a defined domain of a three-dimensional copula and contains a set of GPFNs D g * . In addition, we also introduce a new approach to non-linear programming problems.

TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to propose an approach that is able to find approximate (near-optimal) solution for multi-objective task scheduling problem in cloud environment, and at the same time to reduce the search time.
Abstract: Cloud computing represents relatively new paradigm of utilizing remote computing resources and is becoming increasingly important and popular technology, that supports on-demand (as needed) resource provisioning and releasing in almost real-time. Task scheduling has a crucial role in cloud computing and it represents one of the most challenging issues from this domain. Therefore, to establish more efficient resource employment, an effective and robust task allocation (scheduling) method is required. By using an efficient task scheduling algorithm, the overall performance and service quality, as well as end-users experience can be improved. As the number of tasks increases, the problem complexity rises as well, which results in a huge search space. This kind of problem belongs to the class of NP-hard optimization challenges. The objective of this paper is to propose an approach that is able to find approximate (near-optimal) solution for multi-objective task scheduling problem in cloud environment, and at the same time to reduce the search time. In the proposed manuscript, we present a swarm-intelligence based approach, the hybridized bat algorithm, for multi-objective task scheduling. We conducted experiments on the CloudSim toolkit using standard parallel workloads and synthetic workloads. The obtained results are compared to other similar, metaheuristic-based techniques that were evaluated under the same conditions. Simulation results prove great potential of our proposed approach in this domain.

TL;DR: An intuitionistic fuzzy MABAC method to solve real-life multiple attribute group decision-making problems by utilizing the conventional multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) model.
Abstract: The development of information measures associated with fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy sets is an important research area from the past few decades. Divergence and entropy are two significant information measures in the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) theory, which have gained wider attention from researchers due to their extensive applications in different areas. In the literature, the existing information measures for IFSs have some drawbacks, which make them irrelevant to use in application areas. In order to obtain more robust and flexible information measures for IFSs, the present work develops and studies some parametric information measures under the intuitionistic fuzzy environment. First, the paper reviews the existing intuitionistic fuzzy divergence measures in detail with their shortcomings and then proposes four new order-α divergence measures between two IFSs. It is worth mentioning that the developed divergence measures satisfy several elegant mathematical properties. Second, we define four new entropy measures called order-α intuitionistic fuzzy entropy measures in order to quantify the fuzziness associated with an IFS. We prove basic and advanced properties of the order-α intuitionistic fuzzy entropy measures for justifying their validity. The paper shows that the introduced measures include various existing fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy information measures as their special cases. Further, utilizing the conventional multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) model, we develop an intuitionistic fuzzy MABAC method to solve real-life multiple attribute group decision-making problems. Finally, the proposed method is demonstrated by using a practical application of personnel selection.

Abstract: The paper is concerned with the problem of Image Caption Generation. The purpose of this paper is to create a deep learning model to generate captions for a given image by decoding the information available in the image. For this purpose, a custom ensemble model was used, which consisted of an Inception model and a 2-layer LSTM model, which were then concatenated and dense layers were added.

TL;DR: CHFS is the combination of CFS and HFS to deal with two dimension information in a single set and a decision-making method has been presented for finding the best alternative under the set of the feasible one.
Abstract: Fuzzy set (FS) theory is one of the most important tool to deasl with complicated and difficult information in real-world. Now FS has many extensions and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) is one of them. Further generalization of FS is complex fuzzy set (CFS), which contains only the membership grade, whose range is unit disc instead of [0, 1]. The aim of this paper is to present the idea of complex hesitant fuzzy set (CHFS) and to introduce its basic properties. Basically, CHFS is the combination of CFS and HFS to deal with two dimension information in a single set. Further, the vector similarity measures (VSMs) such as Jaccard similarity measures (JSMs), Dice similarity measures (DSMs) and Cosine similarity measures (CSMs) for CHFSs are discussed. The special cases of the proposed measures are also discussed. Then, the notion of complex hesitant fuzzy hybrid vector similarity measures are utilized in the environment of pattern recognition and medical diagnosis. Further, based on these distance measures, a decision-making method has been presented for finding the best alternative under the set of the feasible one. Illustrative examples from the field of pattern recognition as well as medical diagnosis have been taken to validate the approach. Finally, the comparison between proposed approaches with existing approaches are also discussed to find the reliability and proficiency of the elaborated measures for complex hesitant fuzzy elements.

TL;DR: This paper presents the colon cancer detection system using transfer learning architectures to automatically extract high-level features from colon biopsy images for automated diagnosis of patients and prognosis using pre-trained convolutional neural networks.
Abstract: Colon cancer is one of the highest cancer diagnosis mortality rates worldwide. However, relying on the expertise of pathologists is a demanding and time-consuming process for histopathological analysis. The automated diagnosis of colon cancer from biopsy examination played an important role for patients and prognosis. As conventional handcrafted feature extraction requires specialized experience to select realistic features, deep learning processes have been chosen as abstract high-level features may be extracted automatically. This paper presents the colon cancer detection system using transfer learning architectures to automatically extract high-level features from colon biopsy images for automated diagnosis of patients and prognosis. In this study, the image features are extracted from a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) and used to train the Bayesian optimized Support Vector Machine classifier. Moreover, Alexnet, VGG-16, and Inception-V3 pre-trained neural networks were used to analyze the best network for colon cancer detection. Furthermore, the proposed framework is evaluated using four datasets: two are collected from Indian hospitals (with different magnifications 4X, 10X, 20X, and 40X) and the other two are public colon image datasets. Compared with the existing classifiers and methods using public datasets, the test results evaluated the Inception-V3 network with the accuracy range from 96.5% - 99% as best suited for the proposed framework.

TL;DR: A novel intuitive distance based IF-TOPSIS method based on the conventional TOPSIS method and intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) for teaching quality evaluation of physical education is designed.
Abstract: Under the background of the national fitness craze, the demand space for social sports professionals is constantly expanding. However, according to the author’s investigation, the overall situation shows that the number of high-quality social sports professionals in Chinese colleges and universities is relatively small. Among them, the unsound teaching quality evaluation system of social sports major is one of the important reasons affecting the cultivation of high-quality talents, so it is imperative to construct a sound teaching quality evaluation system of social sports major. At the same time, the perfect social physical education teaching quality evaluation system is an important basis for teachers’ teaching job evaluation and strengthening teachers’ management. And it is frequently considered as a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) issue. Thus, a novel MAGDM method is needed to tackle it. Depending on the conventional TOPSIS method and intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), this essay designs a novel intuitive distance based IF-TOPSIS method for teaching quality evaluation of physical education. First of all, a related literature review is conducted. What’s more, some necessary theories related to IFSs are briefly reviewed. In addition, since subjective randomness frequently exists in determining criteria weights, the weights of criteria are decided objectively by utilizing CRITIC method. Afterwards, relying on novel distance measures between IFNs, the conventional TOPSIS method is extended to the intuitionistic fuzzy environment to calculate assessment score of each alternative. Eventually, an application about teaching quality evaluation of physical education and some comparative analysis have been given. The results think that the designed method is useful for teaching quality evaluation of physical education.

Abstract: Intelligent education is an intelligent education platform that integrates correct education concept and Internet of things, big data, cloud computing and other technologies. This paper hopes to use the construction of the composition scoring model to further construct a computer scoring system for college English translation, which can give students a translation score and give feedback evaluation based on the quality of the translation.

Moreover, this paper studies the impact of our composition automatic scoring from the perspective of linguistics. In addition, this paper uses the multiple regression method to evaluate the final score. The features considered in this paper mainly include simple linguistic features and complex linguistic features. Finally, performance analysis of the algorithm model is performed by setting up a control experiment. The research results show that the proposed algorithm model has certain effects. The future trend is to form adult auxiliary machines through various human-computer interaction technologies, which will reshape future learning and education and form a new teaching form.

TL;DR: A robust MCDM approach based on newly developed AOs is developed and some significant properties of these AOS are analyzed and the efficiency of the developed approach is assessed with a practical application towards sustainable low-carbon green supply chain management.
Abstract: The low-carbon supply chain management is big a challenge for the researchers due to the rapid increase in global warming and environmental concerns. With the advancement of the environmental concerns and social economy, it is an unavoidable choice for a business to achieve sustainable growth for low-carbon supply chain management. Since the root of the chain depends upon the supplier selection and choosing an excellent low-carbon supply. Green supplier selection is one of the most crucial activities in low-carbon supply chain management, it is critical to develop rigorous requirements and a system for selection in low-carbon green supply chain management (LCGSCM). A q-rung orthopair fuzzy number (q-ROFN) is pair of membership degree (MD) and non-membership degrees (NMD) which is reliable to address uncertainties in the various real-life problems. This article sets out a decision analysis approach for interactions between MDs and NMDs with the help of q-ROFNs. For this objective, we develop new aggregation operators (AOs) named as, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction weighted averaging (q-ROFIWA) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction ordered weighted averaging (q-ROFIOWA) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction hybrid averaging (q-ROFIHA) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction weighted geometric (q-ROFIWG) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction ordered weighted geometric (q-ROFIOWG) operator and q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction hybrid geometric (q-ROFIHG) operator. These AOs define an advanced approach for information fusion and modeling uncertainties in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). At the end, a robust MCDM approach based on newly developed AOs is developed. Some significant properties of these AOS are analyzed and the efficiency of the developed approach is assessed with a practical application towards sustainable low-carbon green supply chain management.

TL;DR: Dirichlet distribution is evaluated to attain secure data transmission and significantly detect intrusions in WSNs and the observed results show that the generalized FHD-DS data communication method achieves higher IDR with minimum time.
Abstract: Industrial Wireless Sensor Network (IWSN) includes numerous sensor nodes that collect data about target objects and transmit to sink nodes (SN). During data transmission among nodes, intrusion detection is carried to improve data security and privacy. Intrusion detection system (IDS) examines the network for intrusions based on user activities. Several works have been done in the field of intrusion detection and different measures are carried out to increase data security from the issues related to black hole, Sybil attack, Worm hole, identity replication attack and etc. In various existing approaches, secure data transmission is not achieved, therefore resulted in compromising the security and privacy of IWSNs. Accurate intrusion detection is still challenging task in terms of improving security and intrusion detection rate. In order to improve intrusion detection rate (IDR) with minimum time, generalized Frechet Hyperbolic Deep and Dirichlet Secured (FHD-DS) data communication model is introduced. At first, Frechet Hyperbolic Deep Traffic (FHDT) feature extraction method is designed to extract more relevant network activities and inherent traffic features. With the help of extracted features, anomalous or normal data is predicted. Followed by Statistical Dirichlet Anomaly-based Intrusion Detection model is applied to discover intrusion. Here, Dirichlet distribution is evaluated to attain secure data transmission and significantly detect intrusions in WSNs. Experimental evaluation is carried out with KDD cup 99 dataset on factors such as IDR, intrusion detection time (IDT) and data delivery rate (DDR). The observed results show that the generalized FHD-DS data communication method achieves higher IDR with minimum time.
