Similarity:

This paper presents a methodology for developing fuzzy knowledge based systems (KBS), which permits a complete automatization. This methodology will be useful for approaching more complex problems that those in which machine learning from examples are successful.

Evolutionary algorithms and fuzzy sets for discovering temporal rules

Stephen G. Matthews, Mario A. Gongora, Adrian A. Hopgood (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A novel method is presented for mining fuzzy association rules that have a temporal pattern. Our proposed method contributes towards discovering temporal patterns that could otherwise be lost from defining the membership functions before the mining process. The novelty of this research lies in exploring the composition of fuzzy and temporal association rules, and using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm combined with iterative rule learning to mine many rules. Temporal patterns...

From computing with numbers to computing with words - From manipulation of measurements to manipulation of perceptions

Lotfi Zadeh (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Computing, in its usual sense, is centered on manipulation of numbers and symbols. In contrast, computing with words, or CW for short, is a methodology in which the objects of computation are words and propositions drawn from a natural language, e.g., small, large, far, heavy, not very likely, the price of gas is low and declining, Berkeley is near San Francisco, it is very unlikely that there will be a significant increase in the price of oil in the near future, etc. Computing with...

Fuzzy querying: issues and perspectives

Janusz Kacprzyk, Gabriella Pasi, Peter Vojtáš, Sławomir Zadrożny (2000)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The term query is widely used in the database as well as information retrieval communities. Basically, a query against a collection of information items (to be called later, for brevity, an information source) provides a formal description of the items of interest to the user posing this query. A source of information is meant here very generally. It may take the form of an archive of multimedia or textual documents, a database, or a knowledge base. In the three previous examples the...

An approach to fuzzy temporal reasoning in medicine.

R. Marín, S. Barro, F. Palacios, R. Ruiz, F. Martín (1994)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

In this work we propose an approach for the application of a fuzzy temporal constraint model to intelligent patient monitoring tasks. After analyzing the requirements of the domain, we describe the approach that was followed in order to represent temporal information and solve queries on temporal relations. These processes require the cooperation of a temporal specialist with the domain reasoning mechanisms. The integration solution presented here corresponds to a stage of the implementation...

A multi-granular linguistic model to evaluate the suitability of installing an ERP system.

Pedro José Sánchez, Luis G. Pérez, Francisco Mata, Antonio Gabriel López-Herrera (2005)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

The use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has shown clearly useful and economically profitable in most very large organizations which manage a great deal of data in their information systems. Nevertheless, the decision of installing an ERP system is not easy and it depends on the size, future profits and other features of the companies. The assessments of the parameters (features, aspects) used to evaluate the suitability of the ERP may be vague and imprecise because they are usually...
