Machines are the heart of most industries. By ensuring the health of machines, one could easily increase the company revenue and eliminates any safety threat related to machinery catastrophic failures. In condition monitoring (CM), questions often arise during decision making time whether the machine is still safe to run or not? Traditional CM approach depends heavily on human interpretation of results whereby decision is made solely based on the individual experience and knowledge about the machines. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated ways for decision making in CM provides a more objective and unbiased approach for CM industry and has become a topic of interest in the recent years. This paper reviews the techniques used for automated decision making in CM with emphasis given on Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evident theory and other basic probability assignment (BPA) techniques such as support vector machine (SVM) and etc.

The motivation of this study is to propose a novel multiple criteria group decision-making (MCDGM) method based on Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) and probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs) to handle the distinctions between compensatory information at the criterion level and noncompensatory information at the individual level in the process of information fusion. Initially, the information at the individual level is extracted by BPA functions. Then, they are fused with DST considering ignorance and DMs’ reliabilities. Next, the obtained BPA functions are transformed into interval-valued PLTSs with the assistance of intermediate belief and plausibility. Subsequently, the interval-valued PLTSs are converted into standard PLTSs. After normalization, the holistic PLTS is obtained with weighted addition operation and the round function is applied to determine the ultimate evaluation result. Finally, a case simulation study of evaluating the marine ranching ecological security is presented to verify and improve the validity and feasibility of the proposed method and algorithm in practical application. The proposed method and its relevant algorithm are both innovative combination of DST and PLTSs from the perspective of compensatory and noncompensatory features of information, which provides a new angle of view for the development of probabilistic preference theory and is beneficial to apply probabilistic preference theory in practice.

The article deals with research related to the use of artificial intelligence technologies for effective decision-making in corporate governance under conditions of deep uncertainty. To process uncertainty, it is proposed to use the cognitive capabilities of artificial intelligence. Cognitivism can be used to implement intuitive, psychological and other components of the internal mental activity of a person when making decisions. These capabilities allow one to make informed decisions and predict the consequences of these decisions. To study the properties of deep uncertainty, the authors suggest using a tensor model. The tensor model of deep uncertainty makes it possible to study additional properties of uncertainty that are not available in traditional models, such as Bayesian formalism, Dempster-Shafer theory, fuzzy sets, a method based on certain factors (Stanford formalism), and others. The use of the tensor model allows one to study the spatial model of uncertainty, real and imaginary values of uncertainty, as well as uncertainty invariants with respect to various transformations of the coordinate system.

In this short paper, a critical analysis of the Neutrosophic, Pythagorean and some other novel fuzzy sets theories foundations is provided, taking into account that they actively used for the solution of the decision-making problems. The shortcomings of these theories are exposed. It is stated that the independence hypothesis, which is a cornerstone of the Neutrosophic sets theory, is not in line with common sense and therefore leads to the paradoxical results in the asymptotic limits of this theory. It is shown that the Pythagorean sets theory possesses questionable foundations, the sense of which cannot be explained reasonably. Moreover, this theory does not completely solve the declared problem. Similarly, important methodological problems of other analyzed theories are revealed. To solve the interior problems of the Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets and to improve upon them, this being the reason most of the criticized novel sets theories were developed, an alternative approach based on extension of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets in the framework of the Dempster–Shafer theory is proposed. No propositions concerned with the improvement of the Cubic sets theory and Single-Valued Neutrosophic Offset theory were made, as their applicability was shown to be very dubious. In order to stimulate discussion, many statements are deliberately formulated in a hardline form.

Automated Decision Making

The integration of internet of things, artificial intelligence, and blockchain enabled the monitoring of structural health with unattended and automated means. Remote monitoring mandates intelligent automated decision-making capability, which is still absent in present solutions. The proposed solution in this chapter contemplates the architecture of smart sensors, customized for individual structures, to regulate the monitoring of structural health through stress, strain, and bolted joints looseness. Long range sensors are deployed for transmitting the messages a longer distance than existing techniques. From the simulated results, different sensors record the monitoring information and transmit to the blockchain platform in terms of pressure points, temperature, pre-tension force, and the architecture deems the criticality of transactions. Blockchain platform will also be responsible for storage and accessibility of information from a decentralized medium, automation, and security.
