Similarity measure is one of the most important measures of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) sets. This article will put forward a new similarity measure, which considers the impacts of membership degree, nonmembership degree and median po...

The codewords of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) convolutional code (LDPC-CC) are characterised into structured and non-structured. The number of the structured codewords is dominated by the size of the polynomial syndrome former matrix...

Semantic features are very important for machine learning-based drug name recognition (DNR) systems. The semantic features used in most DNR systems are based on drug dictionaries manually constructed by experts. Building large-scale drug dictionaries...

This contribution explores the fine line between overestimated expectations and underrepresented momentums of uncertainty that correlate with the prevalence of big data. Big data promises a multitude of innovative options to enhance decision-making b...

Information in phylogenetic systematic analysis has been conceptualized, defined, quantified, and used differently by different authors. In this paper, we start with the Shannon Uncertainty Measure information measure I, applying it to cladograms con...

Nowadays in the cyber world, massive amounts of data are being collected, transmitted, and stored by different organizations and individuals.[...]

Drug name recognition (DNR), which seeks to recognize drug mentions in unstructured medical texts and classify them into pre-defined categories, is a fundamental task of medical information extraction, and is a key component of many medical relation...

Unpredictability is an important concept throughout physics and plays a central role in quantum information theory. Despite this, little effort has been devoted to studying generalised notions or models of (un)predictability in physics. In this paper...

The 2nd International Conference on the Philosophy of Information (ICPI 2015) took place in Vienna June 5–6, 2015 as a major Section of the Vienna 2015 Summit Conference on the Response and Responsibility of the Information Sciences. At the ICP...

Digital information changes the ways in which people and organisations interact. This paper examines the nature of this change in the context of the author’s Model for Information (MfI). It investigates the relationship between outcomes and value, se...
