Linguistic Rule Induction Based on a Random Set Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuzzy logic based methods have been widely used in linguistic modeling [6]. Here we use a different framework of random set to interpret imprecise concepts. This framework is referred to as label semantics [8]. Within this framework, fuzzy concepts are modeled by quantifying the subjective uncertainty associated with whether or not a label expression is appropriate to describe a particular value. In this paper, a method of modeling data with logical expressions of fuzzy labels is discussed and a simple information based algorithm based on FOIL [10] is proposed for generating a set of linguistic rules for classification.

LFOIL: Linguistic rule induction in the label semantics framework
Label semantics is a random set framework for modelling with words. In previous work, several machine learning algorithms based on this semantics have been proposed and studied. In this paper, we introduce a new linguistic rule induction algorithm based on Quinlan’s FOIL. According to this algorithm, a set of linguistic rules are generated for classification problems. The new model is empirical...
متن کاملA Tree-structured Classification Model Based on Label Semantics
Label Semantics is a random set based framework for Computing with Words. Imprecise concepts are modeled by the degrees of appropriateness of a linguistic expression as defined by a fuzzy set. An approach to decision tree induction based on this framework is studied and its performance when applied to realworld datasets is compared with the C4.5 and other machine learning algorithms. A method o...
متن کاملLinguistic Decision Tree Induction
Label Semantics is a random set based framework for modeling imprecise concepts where the degree of appropriateness of a linguistic expression as a description of a certain value is measured in terms of how the set of appropriate labels for that value varies across a population. An approach to decision tree induction based on this framework was studied. A new decision tree learning algorithm wa...
متن کاملInterpretability assessment of fuzzy knowledge bases: A cointension based approach
Computing with words (CWW) relies on linguistic representation of knowledge that is processed by operating at the semantical level defined through fuzzy sets. Linguistic representation of knowledge is a major issue when fuzzy rule based models are acquired from data by some form of empirical learning. Indeed, these models are often requested to exhibit interpretability, which is normally evalua...
متن کاملDynamic Categorization of Semantics of Fashion Language: A Memetic Approach
Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
