-In this work we present the methods of creating the knowledge bases by using the theory of fuzzy systems as well as the probability and stochastic processes theory. We show that such knowledge-based systems can be applied in different diagnostic tasks. The structure of the reason-result fuzzy model is predefined by experts at the beginning of the task. The notion of probability of fuzzy events...

B a r b a r a L a f f o r d In this paper, we report the results of a study that compared differences in the linguistic gains made by native English-speaking students from the United States who were studying Spanish in one of two different contexts of learning. One was a regular university classroom situation in Colorado; the other was a study abroad program in Alicante, Spain. We examined the ...

Intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic numbers (IFLNs) are an extension of the linguistic variables and the intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which are proposed by Wang and Li (Wang J.Q., Li J.J. (2009) The multi-criteria group decision making method based on multi-granularity intuitionistic two semantics. Science & Technology Information (33), 8-9.). In this paper, we introduced some operational laws of IFL...

The linguistic neutrosophic numbers (LNNs) can express the truth, indeterminacy, and falsity degrees independently by three linguistic variables. Hence, they are an effective tool for describing indeterminate linguistic information under linguistic decision-making environments. Similarity measures are usual tools in decision-making problems. However, existing cosine similarity measures have bee...

The main purpose of this planned manuscript is to establish an algorithm for the solution multiattribute decision-making (MADM) issues, where experts utilizing linguistic variables provide information about attributes in form picture hesitant fuzzy numbers. So, these kinds we develop TOPSIS under environment using variables, which plays a vital role practical applications, notably MADM decision...

Quantitative analyses of large data sets make use of both linguistic and sociological categories in sociolinguistic studies. While the linguistic categories are generally well-defined and there are sufficient tokens for further definition based on mathematical manipulation, the social characteristics such as socioeconomic class or ethnicity are neither. The familiar problem of grouping speakers...
