Special Session on Interval Uncertainty WCCI 2022
This special session is for the FUZZ-IEEE 2022 conference which will be held
as part of the 2022 IEEE World Congress on
Computational Intelligence IEEE WCCI 2022 in Padua, Italy, on July 18-23,
2022. IEEE WCCI 2022 is the world's largest technical event on computational
intelligence, featuring the three flagship conferences of the IEEE
Computational Intelligence Society (CIS): - 2022 International Joint
Conference on Neural Networks IJCNN 2022,
- 2022 IEEE International
Conference on Fuzzy Systems FUZZ-IEEE 2022, and
- 2022 IEEE Congress on
Evolutionary Computation IEEE CEC 2022.
Scope and Aim
Interval uncertainty -- when we only know the interval containing the actual
value of a quantity -- is closely related to fuzzy techniques. For example,
if we want to know how the fuzzy uncertainty of the inputs propagates through
the data processing algorithm, then the usual Zadeh's extension principle is
equivalent to processing α-cuts (intervals) for each level α.
Yet another relation between interval and fuzzy techniques is that the
traditional fuzzy techniques implicitly assume that experts can describe
their degree of certainty in different statements by an exact number. In
reality, it is more reasonable to expect experts to provide only a rage
(interval) of possible values -- leading to interval-valued fuzzy techniques
that, in effect, combine both types of uncertainty.
These relations between intervals and fuzzy computations is well known, but
often, fuzzy researchers are unaware of the latest most efficient interval
techniques and thus use outdated less efficient methods. The main objectives
of this session are:
- to help fuzzy community by explaining the
latest interval techniques and
- to help interval community to better
understand the related interval computation problems.
