Revisiting Linguistic Approximation for Computing with Words
نویسندگان
چکیده
Any computing with words (CW) system is required to assign a phrase in natural language to the fuzzy values it provides as its output. This paper explores different linguistic approximation methods for CW systems. The outputs of these methods are evaluated through various measures such as fuzziness, specificity, validity, and sigma-count. We illustrate that certain linguistic methods may result in complex and incomprehensible phrases in natural language. Some might even include an invalid linguistic term in their linguistic approximation.

A general approach to linguistic approximation and its application in frame of fuzzy logic deduction
This paper deals with one problem that needs to be addressed in the emerging field known under the name computing with perceptions. It is the problem of describing, approximately, a given fuzzy set in natural language. This problem has lately been referred to as the problem of retranslation. An approaches to dealing with the retranslation problem is discussed in the paper, that ...
متن کاملOn Numerical and Linguistic Quantification in Linguistic Approximation
Interpretation of outputs of fuzzy systems often involves the use of linguistic approximation that assigns a linguistic label to a fuzzy set based on the predefined primary terms, linguistic modifiers and linguistic connectives. More formally linguistic approximation can be considered in the terms of retranslation rules that correspond to the translation rules in explicitation in computing with...
متن کاملA 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic representation model for computing with words
The fuzzy linguistic approach has been applied successfully to many problems. However, there is a limitation of this approach imposed by its information representation model and the computation methods used when fusion processes are performed on linguistic values. This limitation is the loss of information caused by the need to express the results in the initial expression domain that is discre...
متن کاملA vector similarity measure for linguistic approximation: Interval type-2 and type-1 fuzzy sets
Fuzzy logic is frequently used in computing with words (CWW). When input words to a CWW engine are modeled by interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2 FSs), the CWW engine’s output can also be an IT2 FS, e A, which needs to be mapped to a linguistic label so that it can be understood. Because each linguistic label is represented by an IT2 FS e Bi, there is a need to compare the similarity of e A and e B...
