Authors:
- Gives a "semantic" treatment of vague concepts in AI emphasizing the operational interpretation of the measures proposed
- Brings a new perspective on modeling vague concepts by focusing on the decision problem associated with identifying which labels can be appropriately use to describe a particular instance
- Provides a coherent theory of the probability of vague expressions useful when incorporating such descriptions into high-level models
- Demonstrates how this framework can be applied in data analysis to infer effective and informative models
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence (SCI, volume 12)
