The paper introduces the concept of matrix aggregation operators (MAOs), a formal framework for aggregating data naturally arranged in matrices, such as membership degrees in fuzzy systems. It examines properties like decomposability and symmetry, showing that some MAOs cannot be expressed in decomposable form. The authors also propose a new family of MAOs called maximum entropy global coverage indices (MEGCIs), constructed from grouping functions and MEOWA operators, and demonstrate their effectiveness in assessing cluster quality through extensive experiments.

arXiv:2608. 19234v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decision-making in complex systems often involves dealing with imprecise or uncertain information, frequently represented using fuzzy sets, particularly Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFNs).

arXiv:2607. 03550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human reasoning often operates through qualitative concepts expressed by linguistic labels such as high, low, expensive, or cheap, whose interpretation depends on context and is usually vague, despite being rooted in numerical data.

The article addresses a specific data clustering problem: identifying groups of adjacent text segments of a suitable length that match a fuzzy pattern defined by a sequence of fuzzy properties. It proposes a heuristic algorithm that uses a prefix structure to efficiently map text segments to fuzzy properties, and proves that for the special case of unit-length segments (fuzzy string matching), the algorithm finds all matching segments. Additionally, it presents a dynamic programming approach to determine the best segmentation of an entire text based on a fuzzy pattern.
