Fuzzy Social Choice Theory (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing, 315): B. Gibilisco, Michael, M. Gowen, Annie, E. Albert, Karen, N. Mordeson, John, J. Wierman, Mark, D. Clark, Terry: 9783319051758: Amazon.com: Books social network theory bookbear social network theory fuzzy social choice theory:
- allows for degrees of pref / relationship strength between nodes
- fuzzy pref relations: nodes can have weights between 0 and 1
- fuzzy weak preference relation - the degree in which node x is as good as or prefrred to node y
- ambiguous/partial relationships practical applications:
- community detection
- influence analysis
- coalition formation
computational considerations:
- how do you handle fuzzy arthimetic for calcuations on the network
- more complex algos needed vs binary relationships
- expressiveness vs computational complexity
