چکیده

Structural Query Language (SQL) is very restrictive and very dominant tool that handles data that is crisp and precise in nature; but it is unable to fulfill the needs for data which is uncertain, imprecise, and vague in nature. The human queries are rarely crisp, which need unusual requirements to deal with it based on world knowledge. These requirements are called Fuzzy Queries (FQ) that realizes some degrees of truth. Mixing the concepts of fuzzy set theory and SQL, FSQL is able to process imprecise and ambiguous data and also able to increase the facility of data retrieval based on linguistic terms. This paper describes a flexible query interface based on type-2 fuzzy logic. Hence, queries in natural language with pre-defined syntactical structures are executed, and the system uses a type-2 fuzzy process to provide answers. Type2 fuzzy logic (T2FL) system offers the capability of handling a higher level of uncertainty than regular fuzzy logic, which is heavily used in the previous works. T2FL can be used when the situations are too uncertain to decide the exact membership functions. FSQL seems to be a practically feasible and efficient approach to contract with queries for crisp data that include a certain tolerance for imprecision compared to its SQL counterpart. Many experiments have been made on real database that show the effectiveness of the proposed model compared to the existing type-1 fuzzy systems and also show the high accuracy in the results. 

Enriching vague queries by fuzzy orderings

The Vague Query System (VQS) due to Kiing and Palkoska is an add-on to relational databases which is able to suggest alternative query results in case that an exact query fails. This is accomplished by taking numeric distances into account and, consequently, works only for queries with vague equality conditions. In this paper, we present a concept for extending VQS such that queries with vague ...

Vague Ordered Fields: towards an Axiomatic Theory of Vague Real Line

The notion of fuzzy function based on many-valued equivalence relations (many-valued similarity relations (equalities) [17, 18, 19], fuzzy equivalence relations [4, 6, 7, 21, 22, 26], similarity relations [1, 2, 3, 15, 28], indistinguishability operators [27], etc.) has been introduced by several authors, and applied to category theory [5], approximate reasoning and fuzzy control theory [8, 10,...

Answering Vague Queries in Fuzzy DL-Lite

Fuzzy Description Logics (fuzzy DLs) allow to describe structured knowledge with vague concepts. Unlike classical DLs, in fuzzy DLs an answer is a set of tuples ranked according to the degree they satisfy the query. In this paper, we consider fuzzy DL-Lite. We show how to compute efficiently the top-k answers of a complex query (i.e. conjunctive queries) over a huge set of instances.

Flexible Query Answering Using Distance-Based Fuzzy Relations

This paper addresses the added value that is provided by using distance-based fuzzy relations in flexible query answering. To use distances and/or concepts of gradual similarity in that domain is not new. Within the last ten years, however, results in the theory of fuzzy relations have emerged that permit a smooth and pragmatic, yet expressive and effective, integration of ordinal concepts too....

Vague Sets or Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets for Handling Vague Data: Which One Is Better?

In the real world there are vaguely specified data values in many applications, such as sensor information. Fuzzy set theory has been proposed to handle such vagueness by generalizing the notion of membership in a set. Essentially, in a Fuzzy Set (FS) each element is associated with a point-value selected from the unit interval [0,1], which is termed the grade of membership in the set. A Vague ...
