Information in Vague Data Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the concept of the “size” or “extent” of the information in the sense of measuring the improvement of our knowledge after obtaining a message. Standard approaches are based on the probabilistic parameters of the considered information source. Here we deal with situations when the unknown probabilities are subjectively or vaguely estimated. For the considered fuzzy quantities valued probabilities we introduce and discuss information theoretical concepts.

A field based representation for vague areas defined by spatial prepositions
Natural language is one of the primary means of communicating spatial information, but existing geographic information retrieval (GIR) facilities are weak in this respect. One of the major challenges in automated interpetation of spatial natural language is how to model the regions implied by spatial expressions. This paper presents a field-based model for representing the vague regions defined...
متن کاملSINGAPORE: A system for querying heterogeneous data sources
SINGAPORE (SINGle Access POint for heterogeneous data REposiotries) is a system for querying data sources which are structurally heterogeneous, i.e. they contain structured, semistructured and/or unstructured data. Its main focus is on o ering a uni ed query language, so that retrieving information can be supported by the traditional task of database querying, but also by a more vague or \fuzzy...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal localization of Vague Geo-environmental Information: Application to volcanological Data
In the field of Environment, it is frequent to find, in data sets describing spatial natural events, some localizations expressed through vague textual expressions (Wang., 2011 ; Jones et al., 2008), such as « nearby », « in the sector of», « towards », « north of », etc. It is the same with temporal localizations, when it comes to expressing the moment when events occur (Nagypal & Motik., 2003...
متن کاملTesting fuzzy hypotheses with vague data
The problem of testing fuzzy hypotheses in the presence of vague data is considered. A new method based on the necessity index of strict dominance (NSD) is suggested. An example hoe to apply the proposed test in statistical quality control is shown.
متن کاملTIJAH Scratches INEX 2005: Vague Element Selection, Image Search, Overlap, and Relevance Feedback
Retrieving information from heterogeneous data sources in a flexible manner and within a single (database) framework is still a challenge. In this paper we present several extensions of our prototype database system TIJAH developed for structured retrieval. The extensions are aimed at modeling vague selection of XML elements and image retrieval. All three levels (conceptual, logical, and physic...
