Abstract Content-based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) is a technique for retrieving medical images based on automatically derived image features. There are many applications of CBMIR, such as teaching, research, diagnosis and electronic patient records. Several methods are applied to enhance the retrieval performance of CBMIR systems. Developing new and effective similarity measure and features fusion methods are two of the most powerful and effective strategies for improving these systems. This study proposes the relative difference-based similarity measure (RDBSM) for CBMIR. The new measure was first used in the similarity calculation stage for the CBMIR using an unweighted fusion method of traditional… More >

Abstract Learning unlabeled data is a significant challenge that needs to handle complicated relationships between nominal values and attributes. Increasingly, recent research on learning value relations within and between attributes has shown significant improvement in clustering and outlier detection, etc. However, typical existing work relies on learning pairwise value relations but weakens or overlooks the direct couplings between multiple attributes. This paper thus proposes two novel and flexible multi-attribute couplings-based distance (MCD) metrics, which learn the multi-attribute couplings and their strengths in nominal data based on information theories: self-information, entropy, and mutual information, for measuring both numerical and nominal distances. MCD… More >

Abstract The spacecraft equipment layout optimization design (SELOD) problems with complicated performance constraints and diversity are studied in this paper. The previous literature uses the gradient-based algorithm to obtain optimized non-overlap layout schemes from randomly initialized cases effectively. However, these local optimal solutions are too difficult to jump out of their current relative geometry relationships, significantly limiting their further improvement in performance indicators. Therefore, considering the geometric diversity of layout schemes is put forward to alleviate this limitation. First, similarity measures, including modified cosine similarity and gaussian kernel function similarity, are introduced into the layout optimization process. Then the optimization produces… More >

Abstract A neutrosophic multi-valued set (NMVS) is a crucial representation for true, false, and indeterminate multi-valued information. Then, a consistent single-valued neutrosophic set (CSVNS) can effectively reflect the mean and consistency degree of true, false, and indeterminate multi-valued sequences and solve the operational issues between different multi-valued sequence lengths in NMVS. However, there has been no research on consistent single-valued neutrosophic similarity measures in the existing literature. This paper proposes cotangent similarity measures and weighted cotangent similarity measures between CSVNSs based on cotangent function in the neutrosophic multi-valued setting. The cosine similarity measures show the cosine of the angle between two… More >

Abstract Presently, Person Re-IDentification (PRe-ID) acts as a vital part of real time video surveillance to ensure the rising need for public safety. Resolving the PRe-ID problem includes the process of matching observations of persons among distinct camera views. Earlier models consider PRe-ID as a unique object retrieval issue and determine the retrieval results mainly based on the unidirectional matching among the probe and gallery images. But the accurate matching might not be present in the top-k ranking results owing to the appearance modifications caused by the difference in illumination, pose, viewpoint, and occlusion. For addressing these issues, a new Hyper-parameter… More >

Abstract The advancement in electronic devices and communication technologies in social media have introduced major changes in today’s communication and people have accepted such communicational habits at a rapid pace. The changes involve the way people started interacting with each other, and modern mean of discovering new groups of people, and individuals with similar mindsets, mutual interests, and ideas to share with. As far as the communities are concerned, there are so many social drives (such as “Say No to Plastic”) that need to be discussed on a certain platform for their promotion. Although, it’s quit is challenging, but with the… More >

Abstract In the complexity and indeterminacy of decision making (DM) environments, orthopair neutrosophic number set (ONNS) presented by Ye et al. can be described by the truth and falsity indeterminacy degrees. Then, ONNS demonstrates its advantages in the indeterminate information expression, aggregations, and DM problems with some indeterminate ranges. However, the existing research lacks some similarity measures between ONNSs. They are indispensable mathematical tools and play a crucial role in DM, pattern recognition, and clustering analysis. Thus, it is necessary to propose some similarity measures between ONNSs to supplement the gap. To solve the issue, this study firstly proposes the p-indeterminate… More >

Abstract Intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set (IHFS) is a mixture of two separated notions called intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), as an important technique to cope with uncertain and awkward information in realistic decision issues. IHFS contains the grades of truth and falsity in the form of the subset of the unit interval. The notion of IHFS was defined by many scholars with different conditions, which contain several weaknesses. Here, keeping in view the problems of already defined IHFSs, we will define IHFS in another way so that it becomes compatible with other existing notions. To examine the… More >

Abstract This paper proposes a dimension root distance and its similarity measure of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs), and then develops the fault diagnosis method of hydraulic turbine by using the dimension root similarity measure of SVNSs. By the similarity measures between the fault diagnosis patterns and a testing sample with single-valued neutrosophic information and the relation indices, we can determine the main fault type and the ranking order of various vibration faults for predicting some possible fault trend. Then, the comparison of the fault diagnoses of hydraulic turbine based of the proposed dimension root similarity measure and the existing cotangent similarity… More >

Abstract Because existing proportional-integral-derivative (PID) tuning method using similarity measures of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) and an increasing step algorithm shows its complexity and inconvenience, this paper proposes a PID tuning method using a cosine similarity measure of SVNSs and genetic algorithm (GA) to improve the existing PID tuning method. In the tuning process, the step response characteristic values (rising time, settling time, overshoot ratio, undershoot ratio, peak time, and steady-state error) of the control system are converted into the single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) by the neutrosophic membership functions (Neutrosophication). Then the values of three appropriate parameters in a PID controller… More >
