Modelling Linguistic Expressions Using Fuzzy Relations

چکیده
The concept of an image of a fuzzy set under a fuzzy relation has proved to be a very powerful tool in fuzzy set theoretical applications. In this paper, we explain how it can be used to model linguistic expressions. For the representation of expressions, such as “at least middle-aged”, “brighter than average”, we will use fuzzy ordering relations, while resemblance relations will be suitable to model linguistic terms, such as “more or less expensive” and “very tall.” We will show how these representations can be smoothly integrated in approximate reasoning schemes using the compositional rule of inference.

Sometimes, an individual may have vague information about the preference degree between two alternatives and can not estimate his preferences with an exact numerical value. Then, a possible approach is to use linguistic assessments instead of numerical values, that is, to suppose that the preference relations are assessed by means of linguistic terms. A scale of certainty expressions, linguisti...
متن کاملSafety Evaluation of Nuclear Transmission Lines Using Fuzzy Relations
In this paper, we deal with the performance evaluation of transmission lines of nuclear installations. We argue that the traditional assessment process based on a single parameter is inappropriate. Instead, it should take several related factors like isolation damage, rust, resistance change etc. into account to determine the degradation degree of a transmission line properly. Therefore, we reg...
متن کاملFuzzy Linguistic Summaries in Rule-Based Adaptive Hypermedia Systems
Rule-based adaptive hypermedia systems personalize the structure of the hypermedia space using an inference mechanism that operates on a specific knowledge representation about its users. Approximate quantifiers are very frequently used in human language expressions that entail the summarization of a large number of facts. We describe how quantified expressions can be used in adaptation rules t...
متن کاملFuzzy Linguistic Preference Modelling for Group Decision Making
The designer of a model to solve decision making problems usually have to face different aspects to finally be able to obtain the solution for a problem. Many of this aspects directly depend on the representation format and semantics of the information provided by the experts. In many occasions experts can not easily represent their preferences using artificial preference structures as fuzzy pr...
متن کاملA New Method on Decision-Making Using Fuzzy Linguistic Assessment Variables and Fuzzy Preference Relations
In decision-making problems, decision-makers using fuzzy preference relations express their opinions. The values of fuzzy preference relations have been crisp in recent seminar papers. To allow decision makers to give vague or imprecise responses when they are in the process of comparing two alternatives, this paper proposes a new method using fuzzy linguistic assessment variables instead of cr...
