Summary: This paper proposes a novel fuzzy Petri nets (FPNs) method based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFSs) to handle the uncertain knowledge representation and reasoning efficiently. It introduces q-rung orthopair FPNs (q-ROFPNs) that integrate q-ROFSs with FPNs for intuitive evaluation and flexible adjustment of hesitancy information. The paper also presents a reasoning algorithm based on the ordered weighted averaging-weighted average (OWAWA) operator to accomplish forward reasoning, as well as a decomposition algorithm and an ordered weighted backward reasoning (OWBR) algorithm for backward reasoning in q-rung orthopair fuzzy reversed Petri nets (q-ROFRPNs). The proposed method outperforms the existing FPNs methods in terms of flexibility and reliability in knowledge representation and reasoning.

Summary: This article introduces an interpretable fuzzy classifier for Big Data, aiming to boost explainability by learning a compact yet accurate fuzzy model. Developed in a cell-based distributed framework, IFC-BD goes through three working stages of initial rule learning, rule generalization, and heuristic rule selection to move from a high number of specific rules to fewer, more general and confident rules. The proposed algorithm was found to improve the explainability and predictive performance of fuzzy rule-based classifiers in comparison to state-of-the-art approaches.

Summary: This article proposes a new multiattribute group decision-making method that considers the allocation of ignorance information, realization of group consensus, and aggregation of assessments. The method achieves adaptive group consensus through optimization modeling and the particle swarm optimization algorithm, and generates comprehensive alternative assessments using the evidential reasoning algorithm.

Summary: In the field of artificial intelligence, there are numerous challenges related to reasoning, planning, learning, perception, and cognition. Many-valued logics have emerged as a solution to some of these AI problems. This special issue provides an overview of the relationship between logics and AI, and gathers recent research on logic-based approaches in AI.

Summary: The paper introduces a qualitative model for paper folding (QPF) and a computer game (Paper Folding Game) to demonstrate the reasoning capabilities of the QPF model. The interactive game helps users train and understand how to fold paper to specific shapes, and then presents paper-folding-and-punching tests to the players.

Summary: Digital twin in healthcare refers to the dynamic digital representation of a patient's anatomy and physiology through computational models, which, when combined with machine learning technologies, can assist doctors in treatment paths and intervention procedures. Maintaining confidentiality of medical records is crucial and necessitates anonymization processes, especially in domains with limited data availability. Generating synthetic data that conforms to real data can be a solution to this issue, as demonstrated by the use of generative adversarial networks (GAN) for creating anonymized synthetic patients in this study.

Summary: The use of healthcare patient digital twins combined with machine learning technologies can aid doctors in treatment and interventions. Synthetic data generation can help overcome confidentiality and limited data availability issues in medical domains. This paper suggests using statistical decision making as a validation tool and finds that loss functions and hypothesis validation may not always align.

Summary: This study evaluated the interaction between beer colour and glass type in shaping beer expectations. The results showed that colour influenced sensory-discriminative, hedonic, and willingness to pay (WTP) ratings, while glass type influenced all variables except for intensity and WTP. Importantly, all the variables for which glass type had a main effect were followed by a significant interaction. This suggests that the extent to which glass, as an extrinsic beer element, influences expectations depends on the associations people have with colour, an intrinsic beer property closely related to beer type.

Summary: This paper examines the influence of food color on individual preferences and explores the association between color palettes and mood adjectives related to meal preferences. The study validates the accuracy of the color palettes and adjectives through a rating model and survey. The findings have important implications for tourism marketing, particularly the promotion of restaurants and gastronomic destinations.

Summary: The Qui-Bot H2O project develops sustainable educational robots with HRI features for chemistry and industry 4.0 applications. Through an interactive study involving 212 students aged 3-18, the project measures students' backgrounds, impact, interest, and satisfaction after interacting with the robots. The project also includes an ethical study and comparison of interactions between humanoid and non-humanoid robots in early childhood learning. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of these robots in teaching technical and scientific concepts, as well as increasing girls' interest in science and engineering careers.

Summary: This paper presents an explainable classifier named ANYXI, based on art specialists' knowledge of art styles and human-understandable color traits. The study proposes categorizations of Baroque, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism validated through a human survey. The accuracy and interpretability of the ANYXI classifier are analyzed, and its automatically generated explanations are evaluated for rationality. ANYXI is shown to have outstanding interpretability and high accuracy, comparable to non-explainable classifiers, with explanations that are deemed rational.

Summary: This work focuses on the virtual museum, which refers to the digital transformation of traditional museums. The study first reviews the main conceptualizations of the virtual museum in specialized literature and proposes a basic definition based on them. Furthermore, it argues against the insufficiency of the dataist perspective in understanding the epistemic injustice associated with the virtual museum. Lastly, it analyzes the exclusion related to the participation and interaction between museum visitors and the institution.
