Here are many situations in real applications of decision making where we deal with uncertain conditions.  Due to the different sources of uncertainty,  since its original definition of fuzzy sets in 1965 cite{zadeh1965},  different generalizations and extensions of fuzzy sets have been introduced: Type-2 fuzzy sets cite{6,13}, Intuitionistic fuzzy sets cite{1}, fuzzy multi-sets cite{37} and et...

The linguistic approach based on fuzzy sets has given very good results in the modeling of qualitative information, from what has been applied to solve several real-world problems in medicine, information retrieval, education, etc. In this paper, some practical considerations about the choice and semantic of the linguistic term set of such an approach, as well as diierent proposals of aggre-gat...

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...

A study on the steps to follow in linguistic decision analysis is presented in a context of multi-criteria/multi-person decision making. Three steps are established for solving a multi-criteria decision making problem under linguistic information: (i) the choice of the linguistic term set with its semantic in order to express the linguistic performance values according to all the criteria, (ii)...

A study on the steps to follow in linguistic decision analysis is presented in a context of multi-criteria=multi-person decision making. Three steps are established for solving a multi-criteria decision making problem under linguistic information: (i) the choice of the linguistic term set with its semantic in order to express the linguistic performance values according to all the criteria, (ii)...

Terminological variation is an integral part of the linguistic ability to realise a concept in many ways, but it is typically considered an obstacle to automatic term recognition (ATR) and term management. We present a method that integrates term variation in a hybrid ATR approach, in which term candidates are recognised by a set of linguistic filters and termhood assignment is based on joint f...
