Fuzzy decision trees to help flexible querying

Christophe Marsala (2000)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Fuzzy data mining by means of the fuzzy decision tree method enables the construction of a set of fuzzy rules. Such a rule set can be associated with a database as a knowledge base that can be used to help answering frequent queries. In this paper, a study is done that enables us to show that classification by means of a fuzzy decision tree is equivalent to the generalized modus ponens. Moreover, it is shown that the decision taken by means of a fuzzy decision tree is more stable when...

A Linguistic Fuzzy Approach to the Consensus Reaching in Multiple Criteria Group Decision-making Problems

Vojtěch Sukač, Jana Talašová, Jan Stoklasa (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

The paper introduces a new method of reaching a consensus in multiple criteria group decision-making under fuzziness. This model is based on the general definition of the ‘soft’ consensus introduced by Kacprzyk and Fedrizzi in 1986. The fuzzy evaluations of alternatives express degrees of fulfillment of the given goals by the respective alternatives for each expert. The selection of the best alternative is based on the fuzzy consensus by experts. For this purpose a set of alternatives...

Interpretability of linguistic variables: a formal account

Ulrich Bodenhofer, Peter Bauer (2005)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This contribution is concerned with the interpretability of fuzzy rule-based systems. While this property is widely considered to be a crucial one in fuzzy rule-based modeling, a more detailed formal investigation of what “interpretability” actually means is not available. So far, interpretability has most often been associated with rather heuristic assumptions about shape and mutual overlapping of fuzzy membership functions. In this paper, we attempt to approach this problem from a...

A context-based approach to linguistic hedges

Martine De Cock, Etienne Kerre (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

We present a framework of L-fuzzy modifiers for L being a complete lattice. They are used to model linguistic hedges that act on linguistic terms represented by L-fuzzy sets. In the modelling process the context is taken into account by means of L-fuzzy relations, endowing the L-fuzzy modifiers with a clear inherent semantics. To our knowledge, these L-fuzzy modifiers are the first ones proposed that are suitable to perform this representation task for a lattice L different from the...

A Method to Construct an Extension of Fuzzy Information Granularity Based on Fuzzy Distance

Thien, Nguyen Van, Demetrovics, Janos, Thi, Vu Duc, Giang, Nguyen Long, Son, Nguyen Nhu (2016)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

In fuzzy granular computing, a fuzzy granular structure is the collection of fuzzy information granules and fuzzy information granularity is used to measure the granulation degree of a fuzzy granular structure. In general, the fuzzy information granularity characterizes discernibility ability among fuzzy information granules in a fuzzy granular structure. In recent years, researchers have proposed some concepts of fuzzy information granularity based on partial order relations. However,...
