Image Classification using Fuzzy Pooling in Convolutional Kolmogorov-Arnold NetworksAyan Igali, Pakizar Shamoi
Nowadays, deep learning models are increasingly required to be both interpretable and highly accurate. We present an approach that integrates Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) classification heads and Fuzzy Pooling into convolutional neural networks (CNNs). By utilizing the interpretability of KAN and the uncertainty handling capabilities of fuzzy logic, the integration shows potential for improved performance in image classification tasks. Our comparative analysis demonstrates that the modified CNN architecture with KAN and Fuzzy Pooling achieves comparable or higher accuracy than traditional models. The findings highlight the effectiveness of combining fuzzy logic and KAN to develop more interpretable and efficient deep learning models. Future work will aim to expand this approach across larger datasets.

Tracking Emotional Dynamics in Chat Conversations: A Hybrid Approach using DistilBERT and Emoji Sentiment AnalysisAyan Igali, Abdulkhak Abdrakhman, Yerdaut Torekhan et al.
Computer-mediated communication has become more important than face-to-face communication in many contexts. Tracking emotional dynamics in chat conversations can enhance communication, improve services, and support well-being in various contexts. This paper explores a hybrid approach to tracking emotional dynamics in chat conversations by combining DistilBERT-based text emotion detection and emoji sentiment analysis. A Twitter dataset was analyzed using various machine learning algorithms, including SVM, Random Forest, and AdaBoost. We contrasted their performance with DistilBERT. Results reveal DistilBERT's superior performance in emotion recognition. Our approach accounts for emotive expressions conveyed through emojis to better understand participants' emotions during chats. We demonstrate how this approach can effectively capture and analyze emotional shifts in real-time conversations. Our findings show that integrating text and emoji analysis is an effective way of tracking chat emotion, with possible applications in customer service, work chats, and social media interactions.

Color Models in Image Processing: A Review and Experimental ComparisonMuragul Muratbekova, Nuray Toganas, Ayan Igali et al.
Color representation is essential in computer vision and human-computer interaction. There are multiple color models available. The choice of a suitable color model is critical for various applications. This paper presents a review of color models and spaces, analyzing their theoretical foundations, computational properties, and practical applications. We explore traditional models such as RGB, CMYK, and YUV, perceptually uniform spaces like CIELAB and CIELUV, and fuzzy-based approaches as well. Additionally, we conduct a series of experiments to evaluate color models from various perspectives, like device dependency, chromatic consistency, and computational complexity. Our experimental results reveal gaps in existing color models and show that the HS* family is the most aligned with human perception. The review also identifies key strengths and limitations of different models and outlines open challenges and future directions This study provides a reference for researchers in image processing, perceptual computing, digital media, and any other color-related field.

Fuzzy Theory in Computer Vision: A ReviewAdilet Yerkin, Ayan Igali, Elnara Kadyrgali et al.
Computer vision applications are omnipresent nowadays. The current paper explores the use of fuzzy logic in computer vision, stressing its role in handling uncertainty, noise, and imprecision in image data. Fuzzy logic is able to model gradual transitions and human-like reasoning and provides a promising approach to computer vision. Fuzzy approaches offer a way to improve object recognition, image segmentation, and feature extraction by providing more adaptable and interpretable solutions compared to traditional methods. We discuss key fuzzy techniques, including fuzzy clustering, fuzzy inference systems, type-2 fuzzy sets, and fuzzy rule-based decision-making. The paper also discusses various applications, including medical imaging, autonomous systems, and industrial inspection. Additionally, we explore the integration of fuzzy logic with deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to enhance performance in complex vision tasks. Finally, we examine emerging trends such as hybrid fuzzy-deep learning models and explainable AI.

COLIBRI Fuzzy Model: Color Linguistic-Based Representation and InterpretationPakizar Shamoi, Nuray Toganas, Muragul Muratbekova et al.
Colors are omnipresent in today's world and play a vital role in how humans perceive and interact with their surroundings. However, it is challenging for computers to imitate human color perception. This paper introduces the Human Perception-Based Fuzzy Color Model, COLIBRI (Color Linguistic-Based Representation and Interpretation), designed to bridge the gap between computational color representations and human visual perception. The proposed model uses fuzzy sets and logic to create a framework for color categorization. Using a three-phase experimental approach, the study first identifies distinguishable color stimuli for hue, saturation, and intensity through preliminary experiments, followed by a large-scale human categorization survey involving more than 1000 human subjects. The resulting data are used to extract fuzzy partitions and generate membership functions that reflect real-world perceptual uncertainty. The model incorporates a mechanism for adaptation that allows refinement based on feedback and contextual changes. Comparative evaluations demonstrate the model's alignment with human perception compared to traditional color models, such as RGB, HSV, and LAB. To the best of our knowledge, no previous research has documented the construction of a model for color attribute specification based on a sample of this size or a comparable sample of the human population (n = 2496). Our findings are significant for fields such as design, artificial intelligence, marketing, and human-computer interaction, where perceptually relevant color representation is critical.
