Some new distance measures for type-2 fuzzy sets and distance measure based ranking for group decision making problems

In this paper, we propose some distance measures between type-2 fuzzy sets, and also a new family of utmost distance measures are presented. Several properties of differ- ent proposed distance measures have been introduced. Also, we have introduced a new ranking method for the ordering of type-2 fuzzy sets based on the proposed distance measure. The proposed ranking method satisfies the reasonable prop- erties for the ordering of fuzzy quantities. Some properties such as robustness, order relation have been presented. Lim- itations of existing ranking methods have been studied. Fur- ther for practical use, a new method for selecting the best alternative, for group decision making problems is proposed. This method is illustrated with a numerical example.     

自动驾驶车辆在无信号交叉口右转驾驶决策技术研究

利用深度强化学习（deep reinforcement learning,DRL）技术实现自动驾驶决策已成为国内外研究热点,现有研究中的车辆交通流缺乏随机性与真实性,同时自动驾驶车辆在环境中的有效探索具有局限性。因此利用TD3算法进行自动驾驶车辆在无信号交叉口下的右转驾驶决策研究,首先在Carla仿真平台中开发无信号交叉口的训练与测试场景,并添加交通流管理功能,提高系统训练和测试随机性。其次,为了提高自动驾驶车辆的探索性,对TD3算法中的Actor网络进行改进,为目标动作添加OU噪声。最后使用通行成功率和平均通行时间评估指标评价自动驾驶行为决策。结果表明,在不同交通流场景下,改进后的TD3算法通行成功率与基于DDPG算法控制的车辆相比平均提升6.2%,与基于规则的AEB模型相比平均提升23%。改进后的TD3算法不仅能够探索更多可能,而且其通行决策表现更加突出。     

A systematic literature review on intelligent automation: Aligning concepts from theory,practice, and future perspectives

With the recent developments in robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI), academics and industrial practitioners are now pursuing robust and adaptive decision making (DM) in real-life engineering applications and automated business workflows and processes to accommodate context awareness, adaptation to environment and customisation. The emerging research via RPA, AI and soft computing offers sophisticated decision analysis methods, data-driven DM and scenario analysis with regard to the consideration of decision choices and provides benefits in numerous engineering applications. The emerging intelligent automation (IA) – the combination of RPA, AI and soft computing – can further transcend traditional DM to achieve unprecedented levels of operational efficiency, decision quality and system reliability. RPA allows an intelligent agent to eliminate operational errors and mimic manual routine decisions, including rule-based, well-structured and repetitive decisions involving enormous data, in a digital system, while AI has the cognitive capabilities to emulate the actions of human behaviour and process unstructured data via machine learning, natural language processing and image processing. Insights from IA drive new opportunities in providing automated DM processes, fault diagnosis, knowledge elicitation and solutions under complex decision environments with the presence of context-aware data, uncertainty and customer preferences. This sophisticated review attempts to deliver the relevant research directions and applications from the selected literature to the readers and address the key contributions of the selected literature, IA’s benefits, implementation considerations, challenges and potential IA applications to foster the relevant research development in the domain.     

A maximum self-esteem degree based feedback mechanism for group consensus reaching with the distributed linguistic trust propagation in social network

This paper focuses on consensus reaching process (CRP) under social network in which the trust relationship expressed by linguistic information. A new feedback mechanism in social network group decision making (SN-GDM) is proposed, which mainly consists of the following two aspects: (1) The propagation of distributed linguistic trust is investigated to study trust relation among experts; (2) A maximum self-esteem degree based feedback mechanism is developed to produce personalized advice for reaching higher group consensus. To do so, a novel linguistic trust propagation method is proposed to obtain the complete trust relationship among group. The self-esteem degree is used to define the extent that an individual makes concessions. Then, a maximum self-esteem degree based optimal feedback mechanism is built to produce personalized advice to help inconsistent experts make change of their opinion. Its novelty lies in the establishment of an optimization model with the nonlinear group self-esteem degree function as the objective function while group consensus threshold as the restrictions. Therefore, the inconsistent experts will reach a group consensus with the minimum loss of self-esteem degree, and then, it achieves the optimal balance between individual self-esteem and group consensus. Finally, a ranking process is applied to derive the appropriate consensus solution.

煤粉源集合体对水力压裂效果的影响

煤粉颗粒在压裂液中发生"造浆"及"聚集"作用是影响煤层气藏水力压裂效果的关键.构造煤粉源集合体对压裂效果影响显著,研究结果表明:原位状态下,煤粉以构造煤粉源和原生裂缝煤粉源集合体两种形式赋存.前者体积在20~30m3之间,呈顺层和断层两种产状,其明显受煤储层小微构造的控制;后者规模很小,主要分布在内生裂隙缝间,其受煤变质程度和煤岩类型影响.煤层气完井期间,井筒附近构造煤坍塌扩径,构造煤粉源卸压膨胀,煤粉颗粒启动难度降低;压裂期间,在压裂液动压、紊流搅动作用下,煤粉颗粒均匀混合在流体中形成浆体;排采期间,回排的压裂液中煤粉含量较高,导致气井近井部位压裂裂缝及炮眼较早地堵塞,气井减产.而原生裂缝内煤粉在压裂液中通过颗粒疏水相互作用发生聚集,在压裂裂缝内形成堵塞,但堵塞程度较轻.稳定压裂液注入排量、减小流速,利用煤储层小微构造解剖技术预测构造煤粉源集合体发育部位能够降低近井部位堵塞的风险,改善水力压裂效果.
