This paper proposes a four-layered adaptive fuzzy command acquisition network (AFCAN) for adaptively acquiring fuzzy command via interactions with the user or environment. It can catch the intended information from a sentence (command) given in natural language with fuzzy predicates. The intended information includes a meaningful semantic action and the fuzzy linguistic information of that acti...

The interests of web users can be revealed by their visited web pages and time duration on these web pages during their surfing. Time duration on a web page is characterized as a fuzzy linguistic variable because linguistic variable makes users easily understand the expression of time duration and can disregard subtle difference between two time durations. Each web access pattern from web logs ...

in the last decades an increasing number of clubs, associations, and partnerships behind professional team sports have become business enterprises as well; as regards their income and number of employees, there are numerous companies managing sports clubs in the medium sized enterprise sector. by nature of being businesses that manage sports, successful performance is usually the number one str...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. in spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (cv index), distance between fuzzy set...

When human experts express their ideas and thoughts, human words are basically employed in these expressions. That is, the experts with much professional experiences are capable of making assessment using their intuition and experiences. The measurements and interpretation of characteristics are taken with uncertainty, because most measured characteristics, analytical result, and field data can...

The main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) model for international tourist hotel location selection. In this article we created 21 criteria for selecting the international tourist hotel location acquired from literatures review and practical investigations. And the methods of fuzzy set theory, linguistic value, hierarchical structure analysis, an...

Fuzzy linguistic quantifiers – operators intended to model vague quantifying expressions in natural language like “almost all” or “few” – have gained importance as operators for information combination and the fusion of gradual evaluations. They are particularly appealing because of their ease-of-use: people are familiar with these operators, which can be applied for technical fusion purposes i...

This paper is concerned with a simultaneous design of TSK (Takagi-Sugeno-Kang)-linguistic fuzzy models with uncertain model output and the computationally efficient representation. For this purpose, we use the fundamental idea of linguistic models introduced by Pedrycz and develop their comprehensive design framework. The design process consists of several main phases such as (a) the automatic ...

this paper investigates the stability analysis of fuzzy relational dynamic systems. a new approach is introduced and a set of sufficient conditions is derived which sustains the unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point in a first-order fuzzy relational dynamic system with sumproduct fuzzy composition. this approach is also investigated for other types of fuzzy relational composit...

In order to obtain the information from an L-Fuzzy context, the complete relation between the objects and the attributes is needed. However, the contexts that model many situations have absent values. To solve this problem, at the beginning of the paper we remind the interval-valued linguistic variable definition and, later, we propose an extension of the fuzzy propositions to the interval-valu...
