A primary goal to design smart homes is to provide automatic assistance for the residents to make them able to live independently at home. Activity recognition is done to achieve the mentioned goal and then to provide assistance, we would need three sort of information. First, we would need to know the goal of the resident, then the pattern that the resident should obey to achieve its goal and third sort of needed information is the deviations from the previously known patterns. In the presented paper, spatiotemporal aspects of daily activities are surveyed to mine the patterns of activities realized by the smart homes residents. Necessary data to model the spatiotemporal aspects of daily activities is provided by embedded sensors in the smart home. We believe that to accomplish daily activities, specific objects are applied and by analyzing the movement of objects and resident(s), we would obtain valuable information to model the daily activities of the Smart Home’s residents.

Spatial association rule mining (SARM) is an important data mining task for understanding implicit and sophisticated interactions in spatial data. The usefulness of SARM results, represented as sets of rules, depends on their reliability: the abundance of rules, control over the risk of spurious rules, and accuracy of rule interestingness measure (RIM) values. This study presents crisp-fuzzy SARM, a novel SARM method that can enhance the reliability of resultant rules. The method firstly prunes dubious rules using statistically sound tests and crisp supports for the patterns involved, and then evaluates RIMs of accepted rules using fuzzy supports. For the RIM evaluation stage, the study also proposes a Gaussian-curve-based fuzzy data discretization model for SARM with improved design for spatial semantics. The proposed techniques were evaluated by both synthetic and real-world data. The synthetic data was generated with predesigned rules and RIM values, thus the reliability of SARM results could be confidently and quantitatively evaluated. The proposed techniques showed high efficacy in enhancing the reliability of SARM results in all three aspects. The abundance of resultant rules was improved by 50% or more compared with using conventional fuzzy SARM. Minimal risk of spurious rules was guaranteed by statistically sound tests. The probability that the entire result contained any spurious rules was below 1%. The RIM values also avoided large positive errors committed by crisp SARM, which typically exceeded 50% for representative RIMs. The real-world case study on New York City points of interest reconfirms the improved reliability of crisp-fuzzy SARM results, and demonstrates that such improvement is critical for practical spatial data analytics and decision support.

Abstract The mining industry can be one of the most impacting human activities. In the southern region of Santa Catarina (Brazil), open pit coal mining has left an extensive environmental impact. Since there was no topsoil in the abandoned open pit sites, it is necessary to provide a substrate for vegetation growth. However, the selection of the best substrate between multiple options is difficult. Thus, a fuzzy logic-based model is proposed. The proposed model was compared to reference models and to experts’ knowledge. Statistical analysis and validation were carried out with a correlation coefficient, a Kappa coefficient, along with the Accuracy, Precision, Sensibility Specificity, F-Score and Mathews correlation coefficients. The data set used to assess the proposed model presented a wide range of data, but for values such as aluminum saturation, higher values were common. The fuzzy logic-based expert system presented better results when assessing the behavior of the defuzzified output values with the crisp input values. The fuzzy model also followed the trend of the reference models (with R2 between 0.3639 and 0.5250). The comparison to the experts’ opinion demonstrated that agreement comes easily with extreme values (such as not suitable and suitable). However, using a Winner-Takes-All approach, the proposed fuzzy model had high scores for suitable soils for land reclamation’s soil construction. The proposed model can be used to define the best substrate for land reclamation. Some improvements, such as different parameters and increases in the number of interviews rounds, should be also tested.

Smart Home resident may be an Alzheimer patient needing continuous assistance and care giving. Because of forgetfulness, this person may realize activities of daily living erroneously. In order to assist this person automatically in Smart Home, all his performed actions and activities are observed through the embedded sensors of Smart Home, and applying the data mining techniques his activities are analyzed. Then information about his activities is provided and in the consequence, comparing learned correct patterns and current observations the Smart Home may infer provision of assistance to this person at the appropriate moment. In this paper we propose a data-driven activity modeling approach, which supports reasoning in correct realization of the activities. Activities are presumed as the series of fuzzy events that occur shortly one after another. Per each activity, we calculate a fuzzy conceptual structure, and the model of activity is represented in form of a multivariable problem.

Traumatic brain injury is highly prevalent in the United States. However, despite its frequency and significance, there is little understanding of how the brain responds during injurious loading. A confounding problem is that because testing conditions vary between assessment methods, brain biomechanics cannot be fully understood. Data mining techniques, which are commonly used to determine patterns in large datasets, were applied to discover how changes in testing conditions affect the mechanical response of the brain. Data at various strain rates were collected from published literature and sorted into datasets based on strain rate and tension vs. compression. Self-organizing maps were used to conduct a sensitivity analysis to rank the testing condition parameters by importance. Fuzzy C-means clustering was applied to determine if there were any patterns in the data. The parameter rankings and clustering for each dataset varied, indicating that the strain rate and type of deformation influence the role of these parameters in the datasets.

Clustering is one of the most basic processes that are performed in simplifying data and expressing knowledge in a scientific endeavor. Clustering algorithms have been proposed for the analysis of gene expression data with little guidance available to help choose among them however. Since the output of clustering is a partition of the input data, the quality of the partition must be determined. This paper presents fuzzy extensions to some commonly used clustering measures including the rand index (RI), adjusted rand index(ARI) and the jaccard index(JI) that are already defined for crisp clustering. Fuzzy clustering, and therefore fuzzy cluster indices, is beneficial since it provides more realistic cluster memberships for the objects that are clustered rather than 0 or 1 values. If a crisp partition is still desired the fuzzy partition can be turned in to a crisp partition in an obvious manner. The usefulness of the fuzzy clustering in that case is that it processes noise better. These new indices proposed in this paper, called FRI, FARI, and FJI for fuzzy clustering, give the same values as the original indices do in the special case of crisp clustering. Through use in fuzzy clustering of artificial data and real data, including gene expression data, the effectiveness of the indices is demonstrated.

Large scale protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of an organism provides key insights into the cellular and molecular functionalities, signaling pathways and underlying disease mechanisms. If we consider the complete interactome of any given organism, the total number of unexplored protein interactions significantly outnumbers the known positive and negative interactions. For Human 20,350 reviewed proteins can generate over ~207 million potential interactions. However, the combination of all known PPI datasets, contains only ~5.6 million positive and ~758k negative protein-protein interactions (NPPI), that together is ~3.1% what is more, conventional PPI prediction methods produce binary results. At the same time recent studies show that protein binding affinities may prove to be effective in detecting protein complexes, disease association analysis, signaling network reconstruction, etc. In this work we present a fuzzy semantic scoring function using the Gene Ontology (GO) graphs to assess the binding affinity between any two proteins at an organism level. We have implemented a distributed algorithm in Apache Spark that computes this function and processed the complete Human PPI network of ~182 million potential interactions resulting from 19,106 reviewed proteins for which GO annotations are available. The quality of the computed scores has been validated with respect to the available state-of-the-art methods on benchmark data sets.

The pros and cons of deep-sea mining (DSM) is currently hotly debated. Here, we assess the environmental, economic, and social risks of DSM by comparing scenarios with and without DSM involvement. The “Without” scenario relies solely on land-based mining and circular economy solutions, while the “With” scenario incorporates DSM alongside circular strategies, highlighting the dangers of heavy DSM dependence. Through literature review and expert interviews, our study identifies key risk indicators across environmental, economic, and social dimensions, forming a comprehensive assessment framework. Through the application of qualitative data and fuzzy cognitive mapping, the analysis reveals that environmental factors are the most influential (centrality: 1.46), followed by social (1.32) and economic (1.0) factors. In the “With DSM” scenario, all indicators show increased risks, with environmental factors, particularly “coastal state vulnerability,” experiencing a 13% rise. Social risks, including “violation of law,” “participatory rights,” “lack of effective control,” and “degraded reputation,” increase by 8–11%, while economic risks, such as “contractual violations,” “lack of special provision,” “knowledge gap on economic assistance fund” and disputes among “multiple stakeholders,” see an 11% uptick. Our results suggest that the risks DSM poses to deep-sea marine ecosystems are likely too significant to justify its pursuit and advocates for circular economy solutions as viable alternatives to mitigate environmental, social, and economic risks. We recommend that policies should promote circular practices through resource recovery incentives.

In recent years, formalization and reasoning of topological relations have become a hot topic as a means to generate knowledge about the relations between spatial objects at the conceptual and geometrical levels. These mechanisms have been widely used in spatial data query, spatial data mining, evaluation of equivalence and similarity in a spatial scene, as well as for consistency assessment of the topological relations of multi-resolution spatial databases. The concept of computational fuzzy topological space is applied to simple fuzzy regions to efficiently and more accurately solve fuzzy topological relations. Thus, extending the existing research and improving upon the previous work, this paper presents a new method to describe fuzzy topological relations between simple spatial regions in Geographic Information Sciences (GIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Firstly, we propose a new definition for simple fuzzy line segments and simple fuzzy regions based on the computational fuzzy topology. And then, based on the new definitions, we also propose a new combinational reasoning method to compute the topological relations between simple fuzzy regions, moreover, this study has discovered that there are (1) 23 different topological relations between a simple crisp region and a simple fuzzy region; (2) 152 different topological relations between two simple fuzzy regions. In the end, we have discussed some examples to demonstrate the validity of the new method, through comparisons with existing fuzzy models, we showed that the proposed method can compute more than the existing models, as it is more expressive than the existing fuzzy models.
