A Few Remarks on the Roots of Fuzziness Measures
2012
In the forty years from the introduction of Fuzzy Entropy, fuzziness measures has been employed in many different fields pertaining both hard and soft sciences, from medicine to art, from engineering to linguistics. If we look back at the road traveled, we can safely state that on of the main reasons for this enduring presence, and maybe the most underrated, is the truly uniqueness of the concept of fuzziness. Far from a reminiscence, this consideration is more of a projection on the future of fuzziness: we strongly believe that the innovation implicit in the concept, while having sometime hindered in the past its perception as a powerful paradigm and tool for the hard science community, wi…
Birkhoff's aesthetics, Arnheim's entropy. Some remarks on complexity and fuzzy entropy in arts
2015
A judgement of aesthetic in arts is, by sheer consensus, a daunting task that requires evaluation of a whole host of endogenous and exogenous cultural factors. A few of them can actually provide very useful hints in tackling foundational problems in Information Science in a more natural setting than what is usually provided by a typical engineering stance. This interaction can however work the other way about, as instruments from the Information and Computer Science toolkit may help in focusing the less explored features of art and its evaluation. When all the social, historical, hermeneutical and political considerations are stripped from the living flesh of the piece, we lose most of wha…
A thread through challenging questions
2015
In the pages which follow I shall try to present a network relating some challenging different problems and questions; questions and problems which in different forms have been discussed with Enric along the years. The thread, of course, is constructed by me and now, and is based on my memory, choices and preferences. For these reasons I am not sure that Enric will totally agree with the particular way in which I have intertwined the different elements composing the thread as well as the pieces it connects. However I presume that this thread - also in the specific subjective form as it appears - will show, anyway, some elements of Enric’s activity and the way in which we have interacted alo…
A fuzzy approach to the evaluation of image complexity
2009
The inherently multidimensional problem of evaluating the complexity of an image is of a certain relevance in both computer science and cognitive psychology. Computer scientists usually analyze spatial dimensions in order to deal with automatic vision problems, such as feature extraction. Psychologists seem more interested in the temporal dimension of complexity, as a means to explore attentional models. Is it possible to define, by merging both approaches, a more general index of visual complexity? The aim of this paper is the definition of objective measures of image complexity that fits with the so named perceived time. Towards the end we have defined a fuzzy mathematical model of visual…
Fuzziness: Came for the View, Stayed for the Same
2013
The first time I came across Fuzzy Sets, my first point of contact with Soft Computing, I was a young and inexperienced student of Computer Science in my hometown University. I had just completed the first semester, and as an aside of an image processing curriculum a loud-spoken, very kinetic lecturer spent a couple of hours introducing us to the mysteries of the idea of degree and Fuzzy arithmetic. The whole thing had a sort of secret sect bent, something like the secret tools that the powers to be don’t want you to know and use – a probably unwitting attitude I have seen many times in the community and that has harmed more than helped, but that on an unexperienced and young student as mys…
Assessing Complexity in Physiological Systems through Biomedical Signals Analysis
2020
The idea that most physiological systems are complex has become increasingly popular in recent decades [...]
