Similarity, typicality and fuzzy prototypes for numerical data
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we consider the notions of similarity, typicality and prototype for numerical data, i.e. vectorial data belonging to R. We study the relationships between these notions and examine various possibilities to define similarity, to deduce typicality from similarity and prototypes from typicality, underlining the semantics and the interpretation of each considered method.

Fuzzy Prototypes Based on Typicality Degrees
This paper considers the task of constructing fuzzy prototypes for numerical data in order to characterize the data subgroups obtained after a clustering step. The proposed solution is motivated by the will of describing prototypes with a richer representation than point-based methods, and also to provide a characterization of the groups that catches not only the common features of the data per...
متن کاملFuzzy Prototypes: From a Cognitive View to a Machine Learning Principle
Cognitive psychology works have shown that the cognitive representation of categories is based on a typicality notion: all objects of a category do not have the same representativeness, some are more characteristic or more typical than others, and better exemplify their category. Categories are then defined in terms of prototypes, i.e. in terms of their most typical elements. Furthermore, these...
متن کاملFrom prototypes to caricatures: Geometrical models for concept typicality
In three studies, we investigated to what extent a geometrical representation in a psychological space succeeds in predicting typicality in animal, natural food and artifact concepts and whether contrast categories contribute to the prediction. In Study 1, we compared the predictive value of a family resemblance-based prototype model with a geometrical centroid model in which similarity is defi...
متن کاملA Prototype-Exemplars Hybrid Cognitive Model of “Phenomenon of Typicality” in Categorization: A Case Study in Biological Classification
In this paper we introduce a new machine learning system developed to investigate the phenomenon of typicality in categorization processes of human mind. Experimental researches in cognitive psychology produced a lot of evidences that categorization is a process based on similarity between observed instances and representative instances, which constitutes the concept acquired by human mind. Con...
متن کاملPrototype based rules - a new way to understand the data
Logical rules are not the only way to understand the structure of data. Prototype-based rules evaluate similarity to a small set of prototypes using optimized similarity measures. Such rules include crisp and fuzzy logic rules as special cases and are natural way of categorization from psychological point of view. An elimination procedure selecting good prototypes from a training set has been d...
