Approximate Measures of Semantic Dissimilarity under Uncertainty
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose semantic distance measures based on the criterion of approximate discernibility and on evidence combination. In the presence of incomplete knowledge, the distance measures the degree of belief in the discernibility of two individuals by combining estimates of basic probability masses related to a set of discriminating features. We also suggest ways to extend this distance for comparing individuals to concepts and concepts to other concepts.

Uncertainty analysis of hierarchical granular structures for multi-granulation typical hesitant fuzzy approximation space
Hierarchical structures and uncertainty measures are two main aspects in granular computing, approximate reasoning and cognitive process. Typical hesitant fuzzy sets, as a prime extension of fuzzy sets, are more flexible to reflect the hesitance and ambiguity in knowledge representation and decision making. In this paper, we mainly investigate the hierarchical structures and uncertainty measure...
متن کاملTwo Methods of Evaluation of Semantic Similarity of Nouns Based on Their Modifier Sets
Two methods of evaluation of semantic similarity/dissimilarity of English nouns are proposed based on their modifier sets taken from Oxford Collocation Dictionary for Student of English. The first method measures similarity by the portion of modifiers commonly applicable to both nouns under evaluation. The second method measures dissimilarity by the change of the mean value of cohesion between ...
متن کاملOptimal Relief Order Quantity under Stochastic Demand and Lead-time
In this paper, a newsboy model is developed under uniformly distributed lead-time and demand that is an appropriate assumption in obtaining optimal relief inventory of humanitarian disasters. It is noteworthy that limited historical data are in hand on relief operations. Hence, analytical and approximate solutions for optimal relief order quantity were derived. The effect of lead-time uncertai...
متن کاملMeasures of precision for dissimilarity-based multivariate analysis of ecological communities
Ecological studies require key decisions regarding the appropriate size and number of sampling units. No methods currently exist to measure precision for multivariate assemblage data when dissimilarity-based analyses are intended to follow. Here, we propose a pseudo multivariate dissimilarity-based standard error (MultSE) as a useful quantity for assessing sample-size adequacy in studies of eco...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
