A language for expressing fuzzy temporal rules.

Purificación Cariñena, Alberto Bugarín, Manuel Mucientes, Senén Barro (2000)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

This paper deals with the formal description of what we call Fuzzy Temporal Propositions: propositions with explicitly expressed information of a temporal type. The set of syntactic rules that make a grammar up for defining a language for this kind of propositions is presented. For some of the rules, examples that illustrate the expressive power of this type of knowledge representation are introduced. Semantic criteria and definitions are also introduced through examples in order to...

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...

Dual meaning of verbal quantities

Milan Mareš, Radko Mesiar (2002)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The aim of the paper is to summarize and interpret some ideas regarding effective processing of vague data. The main contribution of the submitted approach consists in respecting the fact that vague data can be decomposed into two parts. The numerical one, describing the quantitative value of such data, and the semantic one characterizing the qualitative structure of the vagueness included into them. This partition of vague verbal data leads to a significant simplification of their practical...

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...

Relations of granular worlds

Witold Pedrycz, George Vukovich (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In this study, we are concerned with a two-objective development of information granules completed on a basis of numeric data. The first goal of this design concerns revealing and representing a structure in a data set. As such it is very much oriented towards coping with the underlying it relational aspects of the experimental data. The second goal deals with a formation of a mapping between information granules constructed in two spaces (thus it concentrates on the it directional aspect...

Fuzzy sets in computer vision: an overview.

Pilar Sobrevilla, Eduard Montseny (2003)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Every computer vision level crawl with uncertainty, what makes its management a significant problem to be considered and solved when trying for automated systems for scene analysis and interpretation. This is why fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic is making many inroads into the handling of uncertainty in various aspects of image processing and computer vision. The growth within the use of fuzzy set theory in computer vision is keeping pace with the use of more complex algorithms...
