The fusion of ordered propositions is an important and widespread problem in artificial intelligence,but existing fusion methods have difficulty handling the fusion of ordered propositions. In this paper, we propose a solution based on consistency and uncertainty measurements. The main contributions of this paper are as follows. First, we propose the concept of convexity degree, mean, and center of basic support function to comprehensively describe the basic support function of ordered propositions. Second, we introduce entropy as a measure of uncertainty in the basic support function of ordered propositions. Third, we generalize the indeterminacy of the basic support function and propose a novel method to measure the consistency between two basic support functions. Finally, based on the above researches, we propose a novel algorithm for fusing ordered propositions. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

This paper proposes a novel bio-inspired termite queen algorithm (TQA) to solve optimization problems by simulating the division of labor in termite populations under a queen’s rule. TQA is benchmarked on a set of 23 functions to test its performance at solving global optimization problems, and applied to six real-world engineering design problems to verify its reliability and effectiveness. Comparative simulation studies with other algorithms are conducted, from whose results it is observed that TQA satisfactorily solves global optimization problems and engineering design problems.

A blockchain can be taken as a decentralized and distributed public database. In order to achieve data consistency of the system nodes, the execution of a consensus algorithm is necessary and required in the case of decentralized environments. Simply speaking, the consensus is that every node agrees on some record in the blockchain. There are many kinds of consensus algorithms in blockchain environments, and each consensus algorithm has its own proper application scenario. Here we firstly analysis and compare various popular consensus algorithms in blockchain environments, and then as voting theory has systematically studied the decision-making in a group, the traditional methods of voting theory is summarized and listed, including (Position) scoring rules, Copeland, Maximin, Ranked pairs, Voting trees, Bucklin, Plurality with runoff, Single transferable vote, Baldwin rule, and Nanson rule. Finally, we introduce the voting methods from voting theory to consensus algorithms in the blockchain to improve its performance.

The traveling salesman problem(TSP), a typical non-deterministic polynomial(NP) hard problem, has been used in many engineering applications. As a new swarm-intelligence optimization algorithm, the fruit fly optimization algorithm(FOA) is used to solve TSP, since it has the advantages of being easy to understand and having a simple implementation. However, it has problems, including a slow convergence rate for the algorithm, easily falling into the local optimum, and an insufficient optimization precision. To address TSP effectively, three improvements are proposed in this paper to improve FOA. First, the vision search process is reinforced in the foraging behavior of fruit flies to improve the convergence rate of FOA. Second, an elimination mechanism is added to FOA to increase the diversity. Third, a reverse operator and a multiplication operator are proposed. They are performed on the solution sequence in the fruit fly's smell search and vision search processes, respectively. In the experiment, 10 benchmarks selected from TSPLIB are tested. The results show that the improved FOA outperforms other alternatives in terms of the convergence rate and precision.

Satisfiability problem(SAT) is a central problem in artificial intelligence due to its computational complexity and usefulness in industrial applications. Stochastic local search(SLS) algorithms are powerful to solve hard instances of satisfiability problems, among which CScore SAT is proposed for solving SAT instances with long clauses by using greedy mode and diversification mode. In this paper, we present a randomized variable selection strategy to improve efficiency of the diversification mode, and thus propose a new SLS *** perform a number of experiments to evaluate the new algorithm comparing with the recently proposed algorithms, and show that our algorithm is comparative with others for solving random instances near the phase transition threshold.

A cascaded co-evolutionary model for Attribute reduction and classification based on Coordinating architecture with bidirectional elitist optimization(ARC-CABEO) is proposed for the more practical applications. The regrouping and merging coordinating strategy of ordinary-elitist-role-based population is introduced to represent a more holistic cooperative co-evolutionary framework of different populations for attribute reduction. The master-slave-elitist-based subpopulations are constructed to coordinate the behaviors of different elitists, and meanwhile the elitist optimization vector with the strongest balancing between exploration and exploitation is selected out to expedite the bidirectional attribute co-evolutionary reduction process. In addition, two coupled coordinating architectures and the elitist optimization vector are tightly cascaded to perform the co-evolutionary classification of reduction subsets. Hence the preferring classification optimization goal can be achieved better. Some experimental results verify that the proposed ARC-CABEO model has the better feasibility and more superior classification accuracy on different UCI datasets, compared with representative algorithms.

As the conventional feature selection algorithms are prone to the poor running efficiency in largescale datasets with interacting features, this paper aims at proposing a novel rough feature selection algorithm whose innovation centers on the layered co-evolutionary strategy with neighborhood radius hierarchy. This hierarchy can adapt the rough feature scales among different layers as well as produce the reasonable decompositions through exploiting any correlation and interdependency among feature subsets. Both neighborhood interaction within layer and neighborhood cascade between layers are adopted to implement the interactive optimization of neighborhood radius matrix, so that both the optimal rough feature selection subsets and their global optimal set are obtained efficiently. Our experimental results substantiate the proposed algorithm can achieve better effectiveness, accuracy and applicability than some traditional feature selection algorithms.
