Using fuzzy similarity relations to revise and update a knowledge base.
Similarity-based models were first used by Ruspini to give semantics to fuzzy logic. In these models, incomplete information is represented by an evidential set, i.e. a set of possible worlds that are compatible with the evidence, together with a fuzzy similarity relation} on the set of possible worlds that allows to describe the resemblance of arbitrary subsets of worlds to those belonging to the evidencial set. On the other hand, the question addressed by theory change formalisms is which kind...
