<p>
In May 30, Pedro Huidobro successfully defended his PhD entitled</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<em>Convexity for fuzzy structures</em></p>
<p>
which was supervised by Susana Montes and Pedro Alonso. The defence took place in the Polytechnic school of Gijón.</p>
<p>
Some info about the PhD:</p>
<p>
<strong>Summary</strong></p>
<p>
This thesis focuses on the theory of fuzzy sets and its extensions, which were first proposed by Zadeh in 1965. These sets allow assigning degrees of membership to elements within the interval [0, 1]. The thesis also investigates existing definitions of convexity for fuzzy sets and proposes suitable definitions of convexity for their extensions. The aim is to recover the classical concept of convexity and achieve satisfactory results regarding the convexity of level sets and the preservation of convexity under intersections. Furthermore, practical applications in decision theory are explored by applying the developed concepts of convexity.</p>

<p>
The 2022 SMPS Conference (Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics) will take place in Valladolid (Spain), 14-16 September. This conference is devoted to the development of flexible tools to handle probabilistic or statistical problems. Among the variety of such methods, Imprecise Probabilities plays a prominent role.</p>
<p>
Arthur Van Camp and Enrique Miranda (member of UNIMODE) are organising a special session entitled</p>
<p>
"THEORETICAL AND APPLIED ASPECTS OF IMPRECISE PROBABILITIES"</p>
<p>
Among the many theoretical topics, this special session includes (but is not limited to) coherent uncertainty models, non-additive set functions or choice functions, and among the variety of applications of imprecise probabilities, this special session includes (but is not limited to) data mining, classification and machine learning or risk and reliability analysis.</p>
<p>
For further information about the paper submission, you can visit the <a href="http://smps2022.uva.es/">conference website</a>, and for any question about the special session you can contact the organisers of the special session: <a href="http://arthur.vancamp@bristol.ac.uk">Arthur Van Camp</a> or <a href="https://unimode.grupos.uniovi.es/presentacion/miembros/detalle/-/asset_publisher/wFCEsit8VrLt/content/miranda-menendez-enrique?redirect=/presentacion/miembros">Enrique Miranda</a>.</p>

<a href="https://users.ugent.be/~gdcooma/">Prof. Gert de Cooman</a>, from <a href="https://www.ugent.be/en">Ghent University</a>, is making a research stay at our reserach unit from December 14 to December 19.</p>
<p>
Prof. de Cooman is one of the main experts in the field of Imprecise Probabilities. In particular, together with Peter Walley, he created the <a href="https://www.sipta.org/">SIPTA</a> society (<em>Society for Imprecise Probabilities: Theory and Application</em>) in 2002, being its president from 2002 to 2006. Currently, he is the director of the research group <a href="https://www.ugent.be/ea/elis/en/research/foundationslab">FLIP</a> (Foundations Lab for Imprecise Probabilities), one of the more active groups in this area. Since 2003, he has regularly collaborated with Enrique Miranda, member of UNIMODE, and so far they have published 18 papers together, and they have supervised Arthur Van Camp's PhD.</p>
<p>
Next Friday (December 17) at 10:30, he will give a talk about Imprecision and randomness. In this <a href="https://eiodm.uniovi.es/noticias/-/asset_publisher/0002/content/gert;jsessionid=8F3F8785B38F15040944554412ED14BE?redirect=%2F">link</a>, you can find all the information.</p>

The <a href="https://ipmu2022.disco.unimib.it/">IPMU Conference</a> is a biennial conference where the members of UNIMODE actively participate. As in the last editions, our group is organising a special session on</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<em>Theoretical and applied aspects of Imprecise Probabilities</em></p>
<p>
This special session aims to include papers related to Imprecise Probabilities that either present a significant advance in the foundations or show potential applications in real problems. In addition, papers where the connection between imprecise probability theories and other fields such as fuzzy sets or game theory is emphasised are also welcome.</p>

This problem setting carries an undeniable interest in fields such as that of Food Science, where obtaining absolute information from expert panellists is a time-consuming and expensive task, yet untrained panellists are able to provide relative information at a lower cost. The results provided in her PhD thesis proved that the incorporation of relative information into ordinal classification problems leads to a boost in performance and should serve as an incentive for data scientists to start collecting relative information if available at a low cost.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
In September 19-24, the <a href="http://www.ifsa-eusflat2021.eu/">joint EUSFLAT-IFSA Conference</a> took place in Bratislava. As usual in EUSFLAT Conference, there is a Best Student Paper Award sponsored by Atlantis Press.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In this edition, our colleagues Noelia Rico and Pedro Huidobro got this award for their papers <em>"The Borda Count as an initial threshold for Kemeny ranking aggregation" </em>and <em>"Convexity of Interval-valued Fuzzy Sets Applied to Decision-Making Problems". </em>Congratulations!</p>
<p>
Here you can find information about both papers:</p>
<p>
<strong>Title</strong>: <em>The Borda Count as an initial threshold for Kemeny ranking aggregation</em></p>
<p>
<strong>Authors</strong>: <em>Noelia Rico, Camino Rodríguez-Vela, Raúl Pérez-Fernández, Irene Díaz</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Abstract</strong><em>: Social choice algorithm for determining the Kemeny ranking based on the properties of this method in relation to the Borda count. The introduction of the distance from the Borda count ranking to the profile as an initial threshold for pruning the search space results in a reduction of the execution time required to find the Kemeny ranking.</em></p>

In September 19-24, the <a href="http://www.ifsa-eusflat2021.eu/">joint EUSFLAT-IFSA Conference</a> took place in Bratislava. During the EUSFLAT General Assembly, the board of the EUSFLAT society was renewed, and Susana Montes was elected president for the next two years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Susana has already been involved in the <a href="https://eusflat.org/">EUSFLAT society</a> since 2015, playing the roles of treasure (2015-2019) and secretary (2019-2021). Now, she takes the leadership of the main fuzzy community in Europe and faces the challenge of carrying on promoting and disseminating the research in fuzzy logic and technology.</p>

<p>
-'On the elicitation of an optimal outer approximation of a coherent lower probability', by Enrique Miranda, Ignacio Montes and Paolo Vicig.</p>
<p>
-'A study of the set of probability measures compatible with comparative judgements', by Alexander Erreygers and Enrique Miranda.</p>
<p>
-'An undesirable behaviour of a recent extension of OWA operators to the setting of multidimensional data', by Raúl Pérez Fernández. </p>
<p>
-'Combining absolute and relative information with frequency distributions for ordinal classification', by Mengzi Tang, Raúl Pérez Fernández and Bernard de Baets. </p>
<p>
