Summary

This special issue is dedicated to exploring the latest innovations and developments in the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Fuzzy Logic. These cutting-edge domains are pivotal in the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), enabling machines to understand and interact with human languages and make decisions in uncertain environments. The significance of NLP is highlighted by its applications in various technologies such as chatbots, translation services, sentiment analysis, and more, which enhance user experience and accessibility. Fuzzy Logic, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in handling uncertainties and modeling complex systems, finding applications in control systems, pattern recognition, and consumer electronics.


Despite their advancements, the fields of NLP and Fuzzy Logic face several challenges. In NLP, major issues include the need for more sophisticated language models that can understand context better, the handling of multilingual data, and addressing biases in AI systems. Fuzzy Logic must overcome challenges in creating more accurate and interpretable models, integrating with other AI techniques, and improving computational efficiency.


This special issue aims to showcase the current trends, breakthroughs, and innovative applications of NLP and Fuzzy Logic. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their original research articles and review studies, shedding light on both theoretical and practical aspects of these technologies.

    Abstract Thanks to the strong representation capability of pre-trained language models, supervised machine translation models have achieved outstanding performance. However, the performances of these models drop sharply when the scale of the parallel training corpus is limited. Considering the pre-trained language model has a strong ability for monolingual representation, it is the key challenge for machine translation to construct the in-depth relationship between the source and target language by injecting the lexical and syntactic information into pre-trained language models. To alleviate the dependence on the parallel corpus, we propose a Linguistics Knowledge-Driven Multi-Task (LKMT) approach to… More >

    Leveraging Uncertainty for Depth-Aware Hierarchical Text Classification

    Zixuan Wu, Ye Wang, Lifeng Shen, Feng Hu, Hong Yu
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.3, pp. 4111-4127, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.054581

    Abstract Hierarchical Text Classification (HTC) aims to match text to hierarchical labels. Existing methods overlook two critical issues: first, some texts cannot be fully matched to leaf node labels and need to be classified to the correct parent node instead of treating leaf nodes as the final classification target. Second, error propagation occurs when a misclassification at a parent node propagates down the hierarchy, ultimately leading to inaccurate predictions at the leaf nodes. To address these limitations, we propose an uncertainty-guided HTC depth-aware model called DepthMatch. Specifically, we design an early stopping strategy with uncertainty to More >
