چکیده
In this paper we present a fuzzy description logic , where primitive concepts are modified by means of hedges. is strictly more expressive than Fuzzydefined in [8]. We show that given a linearly ordered set of hedges primitive concepts can be modified to any desired degree by prefixing them with appropriate chains of hedges. Furthermore, we define a decision procedure for the unsatisfiability problem in , and discuss truth bounds, expressivity as well as complexity issues.

The Fuzzy Description Logic ALCFH with Hedge Algebras as Concept Modifiers
In this paper we present the fuzzy description logic ALCFH introduced, where primitive concepts are modified by means of hedges taken from hedge algebras. ALCFH is strictly more expressive than Fuzzy-ALC defined in [11]. We show that given a linearly ordered set of hedges primitive concepts can be modified to any desired degree by prefixing them with appropriate chains of hedges. Furthermore, w...
متن کاملA Context–based Approach to Linguistic Hedges
We present a framework of L-fuzzy modifiers for L being a complete lattice. They are used to model linguistic hedges that act on linguistic terms represented by L-fuzzy sets. In the modelling process the context is taken into account by means of L-fuzzy relations, endowing the L-fuzzy modifiers with a clear inherent semantics. To our knowledge, these L-fuzzy modifiers are the first ones propose...
متن کاملA New Generation of the Fuzzy-set-theoretical Representation of Modified Linguistic Terms
Fuzzy set theory provides a framework in which natural language expressions can be modelled mathematically, thereby even taking the vagueness of linguistic terms into account. In fuzzy systems a linguistic term (e.g. fast) is represented by a fuzzy set, while a linguistic modifier (e.g. very) is modelled by an operator (also known as hedge) transforming a fuzzy set into another. In the paper fi...
متن کاملFuzzy ALC with Fuzzy Concrete Domains
We present a fuzzy description logic where the representation of concept membership functions and fuzzy modifiers is allowed, together with a inference procedure based on a mixture of a tableaux and bounded mixed integer programming.
متن کاملA fuzzy expression processor with modifiers and hedges, conceptual design and tests
In this paper, we present a new approach to the design of a fuzzy expressions processor with semantic modifiers and operators. We make use of this approach to define fuzzy operations like “greater than”, “less than” and “between”. These expressions are formalized by means of membership functions. The formalization of the method is discussed, and some examples of its use are presented and justif...
