In this paper, we introduce the seminormed fuzzy co-integral as a complementary concept of seminormed fuzzy integral, and investigate its properties. Furthermore we propose an application of this new integral for decision making problems.

Collaborative filtering is a fundamental technique implemented in many commercial recommender systems and provides a successful service to online users. This technique recommends items by referring to other users who have similar rating records to the current user. Hence, similarity measures critically affect the system performance. This study addresses problems of previous similarity measures and suggests a new similarity measure. The proposed measure reflects the subjectivity or vagueness of user ratings and the users' rating behavior by using fuzzy logic. We conduct experimental studies for performance evaluation, whose results show that the proposed measure demonstrates outstanding performance improvements in terms of prediction accuracy and recommendation accuracy.

This study aims to establish a seismic resistance performance evaluation method that makes sure to secure the seismic resistance performance of the existing mid-low story reinforced concrete structures. This study focuses on the development of the seismic resistance performance evaluation method for the overall seismic resistance performance evaluation on the buildings by applying fuzzy theory. This seismic resistance performance evaluation method considers the mutual relations among the type of force, the type of member, the type of story, and the states of deterioration of the buildings. The total seismic resistance performance index from this method was calculated by the intensity weight of each evaluation item, fuzzy measure, fuzzy integration. Moreover, the evaluation methodology was established in this study to identify the performance level of the Immediate Occupancy, Life Safe, Collapse Prevention by applying the fuzzy theory.

Many of the current successful commercial recommender systems utilize collaborative filtering techniques. This technique recommends products to the active user based on product preference history of the neighbor users. Those users with similar preferences to the active user are typically named his/her neighbors. Hence, finding neighbors is critical to performance of the system. Although much effort for developing similarity measures has been devoted in the literature, there leaves a lot to be improved, especially in the aspect of handling subjectivity or vagueness in user preference ratings. This paper addresses this problem and presents a novel similarity measure using fuzzy logic for selecting neighbors. Experimental studies are conducted to reveal that the proposed measure achieved significant performance improvement.

In this work, we proesent a bidirectional approximate reasoning method and fuzzy inference network for interval valued decision making systems. For this, we propose a new type of similarity measure between two fuzzy vectors based on the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operator. Since the proposed similarity measure has a structure to give the extreme values by choosing a suitable weighting vector of the OWA operator, it can render an interval valued similarity value. From this property, we derive a bidirectional approximate reasoning method based on the similarity measure and show its fuzzy inference network implementation for the decision making systems requiring the interval valued decisions.

In this paper, fuzzy entropy and similarity measure to measure the uncertainty and similarity of data as real value were introduced. Design of fuzzy entropy and similarity measure were illustrated and proved. Obtained measures were applied to the calculating process and discussed. Extension of data quantification results such as decision making and fuzzy game theory were also discussed.

In this paper, we present a new fuzzy information retrieval method based on thesaurus. In the proposed method th thesaurus is represented by a fuzzy linguistic matrix, where the elements in fuzzy linguistic matrix represent a qualitative linguistic values between terms. In the fuzzy linguistic matrix, there are three kinds of fuzzy relationships between terms, i.e., similar relation, hierarchical relation, and associative relation. The implicit fuzzy relationships between terms are inferred by the transitive closure of the fuzzy linguistic matrix based on fuzzy theory. And the proposed method has the capability to deal with a qualitative linguistic weights in a query and in indexing of information items to reflect qualitative measure of human based on vague and uncertain decisions rather than a quantitiative measure. Therefore the proposed method is more flexible than the ones presented in papers[1-3]. Moreover our method is more effectual of time than the ones presented in papers[1-3] because we use a fuzzy linguistic matrix and AON (Associate Ordinary Number) values in query evaluation process. As a result, the proposed method allows the users to perform fuzzy queries in a more flexible and more intelligent manner.

In this paper, the Maekjin and the Yangdorak Diagnosis algorithm by using a neuro-fuzzy method is proposed and it is implemented on the DSP-based system. Maekjin is measured by 3-channels of the Maekjin board through Maekjin probe which is attached on Chon, Kwan and Chuk of patient's wrist. First, we experiment Chon, Kwan and Chuk, 3-parts simultaneously and second perform one part of Chon, Kwan and Chuk respectively, The experimental results show that the Maekjin signal is measured precisely with any Maekjin probe. In Yangdorak diagnosis, the pulse generated by electric stimulator stimulates a portion of body and the response signal is measured through electrodes which is attached on representative points of 12 kyungmaks. The experimental methods are (1) 1 channel-measure, (2) 2 channels-measure, (3) 6 channels-measure and (4) 24 channels-measure. A fuzzy diagnosis is performed and neural networks is learned using fuzzy values as inputs, and we show that neuro-fuzzy diagnosis method is performed well.

The values of a linguistic variable are words, phrases, or sentences in a given language. For example, structural damage can be considered as linguistic variable with values such a 'severely damaged', 'moderately damaged', which are meaningful classifications but not clearly defined, This paper is to evaluate reasonably the correction factor of bridge capacity with the aid of fuzzy sets theory. By using the above mentioned fuzzy measure, the concept of fuzzy integral and linear membership function can be defined. It is concluded that the fuzzy sets theory cam be applied to determine reasonably the correction factor of bridge capacity.

In this paper, we prove that multi-variate fuzzy polynomials are universal approximators for multi-variate fuzzy functions which are the extension principle of continuous real-valued function under $T_W-based$ fuzzy arithmetic operations for a distance measure that Buckley et al.(1999) used. We also consider a class of fuzzy polynomial regression model. A mixed non-linear programming approach is used to derive the satisfying solution.
