Decision makers (DMs) are usually faced with selecting the most suitable alternative from a group of candidates based on a set of criteria. A number of approaches have been proposed to solve such multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) are useful for dealing with the vagueness and uncertainty in a decision-making process because the DM's indeterminacy in the evaluations can be expressed in the decision model. This paper proposes two score functions for evaluating the suitability of an alternative across all criteria in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment, in which the DM's attitudinal character is considered to determine the portion of indeterminacy that will be included in the assessments of alternatives. The DM's attitudinal character is also applied to determine each criterion's weight for the aggregation using the ordered weighted averaging operator. By considering the DM's attitudinal character, the proposed approach is flexible in the decision-making process and applicable to real cases. In addition, the proposed approach can be easily extended to deal with problems in an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Numerical examples are used to illustrate applicability, and comparisons with existing approaches are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

City-scale continual neural semantic mapping with three-layer sampling and panoptic representation

Yongliang Shi, Runyi Yang, Zirui Wu, Pengfei Li, Caiyun Liu, Hao Zhao, Guyue Zhou

Summary: Neural implicit representations have gained attention due to their expressive, continuous, and compact properties. However, there is still a lack of research on city-scale continual implicit dense mapping based on sparse LiDAR input. In this study, a city-scale continual neural mapping system with a panoptic representation is developed, incorporating environment-level and instance-level modeling. A tailored three-layer sampling strategy and category-specific prior are proposed to address the challenges of representing geometric information in city-scale space and achieving high fidelity mapping of instances under incomplete observation.

Language model as an Annotator: Unsupervised context-aware quality phrase generation

Zhihao Zhang, Yuan Zuo, Chenghua Lin, Junjie Wu

Summary: This paper proposes a novel unsupervised context-aware quality phrase mining framework called LMPhrase, which is built upon large pre-trained language models. The framework mines quality phrases as silver labels using a parameter-free probing technique on the pre-trained language model BERT, and formalizes the phrase tagging task as a sequence generation problem by fine-tuning on the Sequence to-Sequence pre-trained language model BART. The results of extensive experiments show that LMPhrase consistently outperforms existing competitors in two different granularity phrase mining tasks.
