Logic of prototypes and counterexamples: possibilities and limits

چکیده
Fuzzy sets are a popular tool to model vague properties. It is, however, well-known that this model usually involves a good degree of arbitrariness. In this contribution we consider the possibility of standardising the construction of fuzzy sets at least with regard to the borderline cases. To this end, we identify a vague property with the sets of clearly positive cases and clearly negative cases and under the assumption that the universe of discourse is a metric space, we determine the fuzzy set by what can be described as a linear interpolation. Following this idea, we discuss a number of logic-based approaches to reasoning under vagueness.

متن کاملDialogue in Hierarchical Learning of a Concept Using Prototypes and Counterexamples
While dealing with vague concepts often it puts us in fix to determine whether to a particular situation/case/state a particular concept applies or not. A human perceiver can determine some cases as the positive instances of the concept, and some as the negative instances of the same; but there always remain cases, which might have some similarities with some positive cases, and also have some ...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Determining Ultimate Pit Limits Based on Network Optimization
One of the main concerns of the mining industry is to determine ultimate pit limits. Final pit is a collection of blocks, which can be removed with maximum profit while following restrictions on the slope of the mine’s walls. The size, location and final shape of an open-pit are very important in designing the location of waste dumps, stockpiles, processing plants, access roads and other surfac...
متن کاملCOUNTEREXAMPLES IN CHAOTIC GENERALIZED SHIFTS
In the following text for arbitrary $X$ with at least two elements, nonempty countable set $Gamma$ we make a comparative study on the collection of generalized shift dynamical systems like $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ where $varphi:GammatoGamma$ is an arbitrary self-map. We pay attention to sub-systems and combinations of generalized shifts with counterexamples regarding Devaney, exact Dev...
