This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM), a problem that has emerged as a significant concern in the age of big data. By adopting a holistic perspective, the book establishes a foundational framework for LSGDM, accounting for uncertain and behavioral factors. Recognizing the behavioral uncertainty and complexity inherent in large groups of decision-makers, the book primarily focuses on developing innovative solutions to LSGDM problems through the application of interval type-2 fuzzy uncertainty theory and social network analysis techniques. These techniques encompass diverse aspects such as uncertain clustering analysis, the exploration of social relationships, particularly trust relationships, the construction of consensus evolution networks, and more. The book is specifically designed for researchers and postgraduate students interested in the field of complex group decision-making in the contemporary media era. Additionally, the authors explore the similarities between LSGDM problems and group recommendations, shedding light on the potential applications of LSGDM methods in various domains. Upon completing this book, readers will gain a fresh and profound understanding of the LSGDM study within the intricate context of real-world scenarios.
