Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There is no question about the success of Fuzzy Sets in both theoretical and practical applications, and this has led to the emergence of Soft Computing, which is widely recognized as Computational Intelligence. Fuzzy Sets are effective and efficient in Uncertainty Management, as well as in handling perception and subjectivities. They are also (soon-to-be) well-integrated with existing theories and frameworks such as Probability and Statistics, and Machine Learning.

Such trends continue in Modern Artificial Intelligence, including, but not limited to, Deep Learning and Generative AI. However, despite their intrinsic functions and contributions, Fuzzy Sets are not necessarily investigated enough by general audiences, especially college students. While everyone is aware of, or has at least heard, of Deep Learning and Generative AI, very few people know about Fuzzy Sets.

This Special Issue is intended to address the significance of Fuzzy Sets in Modern Artificial Intelligence—whether or not they are essential and important, and whether or not they already have a legacy. In any case, it is worth addressing their current status and their future developments by reviewing their origin and progress, as well as their innovative applications, while considering their significance in Modern Artificial Intelligence.

Please note that we are soliciting papers with mathematical foundations in Fuzzy Sets and Modern Artificial Intelligence. We especially welcome those addressing computations along with logic, automata, and language (but not necessarily strictly limited to these areas). Review papers are very welcome, provided that future implications are addressed.

We very much look forward to your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Atsushi Inoue
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
