Uncertain Reasoning in Concept LatticesThomas
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents concept lattices as a natural representation of class hierarchies in object-oriented databases and frame based knowledge representations. We show how to extend concept lattices by uncertainty in the form of conditional probabilities. We illustrate that uncertain reasoning within the hierarchical structure of concept lattices can be performed eeciently and makes uncertain conclusions more precise .

Uncertainty of Topological Relations in Gis
We present a concept for representing uncertain topological relations and their derivation from uncertain sets, useful for spatial and temporal reasoning in GIS. The concept is based on the notion of a stochastic boundary of a geometric set and on tests performed to decide the validity of relations between the sets. It uses the power-function to derive the probabilities of the found relations. ...
متن کاملA Sketch of a Qualification Calculus
We introduce a symbolic, qualitative model of uncertain reasoning and apply it to a concept acquisition problem in the framework of natural language text understanding. Considering uncertain reasoning as a choice problem between different alternatives (hypotheses), the model we provide assigns quality labels to single evidences for or against a hypothesis, combines the generated labels in terms...
متن کاملSpatial Reasoning with Integrated Qualitative-Metric Fuzzy Constraint Networks
Qualitative Spatial Reasoning can be greatly improved if metric information can be represented and reasoning can be performed on it; moreover, modelling vagueness and uncertainty in both qualitative and metric relations allows reasoning in a more flexible way about data coming from real world. In this paper Rectangle Algebra is integrated with a bi-dimensional Point Algebra by defining a set of...
متن کاملThe Effect of Concept Mapping on Nursing Students' Critical Thinking Skills and Nursing Care Plan Design
Introduction: The concept mapping method has been used in nursing education for many years; However, limited studies have examined its effect on critical thinking skills and nursing care program design. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of concept mapping method on critical thinking skills and nursing care program in nursing students. Methods: This two- group educational trial...
متن کاملFrom ignorance to uncertainty: a conceptual analysis
This paper aims to develop an analysis of how ignorance affects the reasoning activity and is related to the concept of uncertainty. With reference to a simple inferential reasoning step, involving a single piece of relational knowledge, we identify four types of ignorance and show how they give rise to different types of uncertainty. We then introduce the concept of reasoning attitude, as a ba...
