Computing with Words for Direct Marketing Support System

چکیده
This paper highlights the simplicity and effectiveness of Computing with Words (CW) in the implementation of target selection. Direct marketing can be considered as one of the main areas of application for this methodology. In particular, fuzzy classification is applied in it with the purpose of choosing the best potential customers for a new product or service from a client database. One of the advantages of the proposed method is that it is consistent with relational databases. Our methodology makes it possible to form queries in natural language, such as “print the list of not very old married clients with more-or-less high income”, which is impossible using a standard query

متن کاملType-2 fuzzy set extension of DEMATEL method combined with perceptual computing for decision making
Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision...

متن کاملApplying Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Methods to Marketing
Marketing deals with identifying and meeting the needs of customers. It is therefore both an art and a science. To bridge the gap between art and science, soft computing, or computing with words, could be an option. This chapter introduces fundamental concepts such as fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and computing with linguistic variables and terms. This set of fuzzy methods can be applied in marketin...
