	abstract = {An early detection and reeducation of dyslexic children is critical for their integration in the classroom. Parents and instructors can help the psychologist to detect potential cases of dyslexia before the children׳s writing age. Artificial intelligence tools can also assist in this task. Dyslexia symptoms are detected with tests whose results may be vague or ambiguous, thus machine learning techniques for low quality data are advised. In particular, in this paper it is suggested that a new extension to vague datasets of the classification algorithm FURIA (Fuzzy Unordered Rule Induction Algorithm) has advantages over other approaches in both the computational effort during the learning stage and the linguistic quality of the induced classification rules. The new approach is benchmarked with different test problems and compared to other artificial intelligence tools for dyslexia diagnosis in the literature.},

	abstract = {A method is proposed for predicting the pass rate of a Computer Science course. Input data comprises different software metrics that are evaluated on a set of programs, comprising students{\textquoteright} answers to a list of computing challenges proposed by the course instructor. Different kinds of uncertainty are accepted, including missing answers and multiple responses to the same challenge. The most informative metrics are selected according to an extension to vague data of the observed Fisher information. The proposed method was tested on experimental data collected during two years at Oviedo University. Yearly changes in the pass rate of two groups were accurately predicted on the basis of 7 software metrics. 73 volunteer students and 1500 source files were involved in the experimentation.},

	abstract = {The software tool CI-LQD (Computational Intelligence for Low Quality Data) is introduced in this paper. CI-LQD is an ongoing project that includes a lightweight open source software that has been designed with scientific and teaching purposes in mind. The main usefulness of the software is to automate the calculations involved in the statistical comparisons of different algorithms, with both numerical and graphical techniques, when the available information is interval-valued, fuzzy, incomplete or otherwise vague. A growing catalog of evolutionary algorithms for learning classifiers, models and association rules, along with their corresponding data conditioning and preprocessing techniques, is included. A demonstrative example of the tool is described that illustrates the capabilities of the software.},

	abstract = {Cost-sensitive classification is based on a set of weights defining the expected cost of misclassifying an object. In this paper, a Genetic Fuzzy Classifier, which is able to extract fuzzy rules from interval or fuzzy valued data, is extended to this type of classification. This extension consists in enclosing the estimation of the expected misclassification risk of a classifier, when assessed on low quality data, in an interval or a fuzzy number. A cooperative-competitive genetic algorithm searches for the knowledge base whose fitness is primal with respect to a precedence relation between the values of this interval or fuzzy valued risk. In addition to this, the numerical estimation of this risk depends on the entrywise product of cost and confusion matrices. These have been, in turn, generalized to vague data. The flexible assignment of values to the cost function is also tackled, owing to the fact that the use of linguistic terms in the definition of the misclassification cost is allowed.},

As an alternative, we propose a new implementation of a mutiobjective Michigan-like algorithm, where each individual in the population codifies one rule and the individuals in the Pareto front form the knowledge base.},
