Computing with WordsFuzzy logic refers to a computer's ability to make decisions involving "grey" or "fuzzy" areas. As linguistics contains numerous "grey" areas, computing with words through the use of fuzzy logic is an extremely hot topic in database and Internet research. This book explores the state of the art in linguistic computation, discussing how current research findings are extending the application of fuzzy logic beyond control engineering and intelligent systems into the use of language on a computer. Fuzzy logic pioneer, Dr. Lofti Zadeh, provides the introduction for this thought-provoking work. |

Thus the laws of reasoning are developed for two adjacent levels of resolution ( granularity and scale ) , and the processes of generalization and instantiation are supported by theoretical apparatus .

In this chapter we investigate the feasibility of such a view on a particular type of reasoning : the order - of - magnitude reasoning in terms of closeness and negligibility relations . The same line of research has been explored on ...
