Vagueness - a Rough Set View
Abs t rac t . Vagueness for a long time has been studied by philosophers, logicians and linguists. Recently researchers interested in AI contributed essentially to this area. In this paper we present a new approach to vagueness, called rough set theory. The starting of the theory theory is the assumption that fundamental mechanisms of human reasoning are based on the ability to classify object ...
متن کاملVagueness by Numbers? No Worries
Take the vague predicate ‘tall’: I claim that any numbers assigned in an attempt to capture the vagueness of ‘tall’ do no more than serve as another measure of height.

The problem of handling vagueness and uncertainty as two different kinds of partial ignorance has become a major issue in several fields of scientific research. Currently the most popular approaches are Bayes theory, Shafer's evidence theory, the transferable belief model, and the possibility theory with its relationships to fuzzy sets. Since the justification of some of the mentioned theories ...

Does the path to Mecca tunnel through the earth? Or does the path follow the surface of the...
متن کاملVagueness by Numbers ? No Worries NICHOLAS
Theories of vagueness based upon fuzzy set theory countenance a continuum of degrees of truth, usually represented by the real numbers between 0 and 1 inclusive (with 0 representing falsity simpliciter and 1 representing truth simpliciter). Keefe (1998) argues against such theories of vagueness. 1 Keefe writes: Take the vague predicate 'tall': I claim that any numbers assigned in an attempt to ...
