description Among various data analysis methods, classifier ensemble (data classification) and community network detection (data clustering) have aroused the interest of many scholars. The maximum operator, as the fusion function, was always used to fuse the results of the base algorithms in the classifier ensemble and the membership degree of nodes to classes in the fuzzy community. It is vital to use generalized fusion functions in ensemble and community applications. Since the Pseudo overlap function and the Choquet-like integrals are two new fusion functions, they can be combined as a more generalized fusion function. Along this line, this paper presents new classifier ensemble and fuzzy community detection methods using a pseudo overlap pair (POP) Choquet-like integral (expressed as a fraction). First, the pseudo overlap function pair is proposed to replace the product operator of the Choquet integral. Then, the POP Choquet-like integrals are defined to perform the combinatorial step of ensembles of classifiers and to generalize the GN modularity for the fuzzy community network. Finally, two new algorithms are designed for experiments, and some computational experiments with other algorithms show the importance of POP Choquet-like integrals. All of the experimental results show that our algorithms are practical.
