Popis: The Choquet integral (ChI) is a parametric nonlinear aggregation function defined with respect to the fuzzy measure (FM). To date, application of the ChI has sadly been restricted to problems with relatively few numbers of inputs; primarily as the FM has $2^N$ variables for $N$ inputs and $N(2^{N-1}-1)$ monotonicity constraints. In return, the community has turned to density-based imputation (e.g., Sugeno $\lambda$ -FM) or the number of interactions (FM variables) are restricted (e.g., $k$ -additivity). Herein, we propose a new scalable data-driven way to represent and learn the ChI, making learning computationally manageable for larger $N$ . First, data supported variables are identified and used in optimization. Identification of these variables also allows us recognize future ill-posed fusion scenarios; ChIs involving variable subsets not supported by data. Second, we outline an imputation function framework to address data unsupported variables. Third, we present a lossless way to compress redundant variables and associated monotonicity constraints. Finally, we outline a lossy approximation method to further compress the ChI (if/when desired). Computational complexity analysis and experiments conducted on synthetic datasets with known FMs demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed theory.
