“…Moreover, FPNs can capture the dynamic nature and improve the efficiency of fuzzy rule‐based reasoning by marking evolution (Ha et al, 2007; Liu, Liu, et al, 2013; Suraj, 2013). In recent years, owing their strong ability to depict uncertain knowledge and support reasoning processes, the FPNs have been widely used in various fields for chemical plant risk assessment (Zhou & Reniers, 2020), aluminium electrolysis cell condition identification (Yue et al, 2020), shot boundary detection in news streams (Yang et al, 2019), energy efficient operation of a manufacturing system (Wang et al, 2019), failure mode and effect analysis (Li, Xiong, et al, 2019; Shi et al, 2020), process equipment failure risk assessment (Li, He, et al, 2019), and so on.…”
