Multimodel approaches are widely used with linear submodels, but border areas around submodels are problematic. Special cases of fuzzy linguistic equation models, which can be understood as linguistic Takagi-Sugeno (LTS) type fuzzy models, can be used to solve these problems in many cases. These models use a special nonlinear scaling approach for both inputs and outputs. The LTS models are robu...

We present a new probabilistic decision making model by using the 2-tuple linguistic representation approach. We introduce the 2tuple linguistic probabilistic ordered weighted averaging (2T-LPOWA) operator. We study some of its particular cases including the 2-tuple linguistic probabilistic aggregation and the 2tuple linguistic arithmetic OWA operator. We show an application of the new approach...

The recognition of Hindi Characters is of two types, one is simple characters recognition that comprises of consonants and vowels and second is compound characters recognition. The compound characters are those which are formed by joining of two or more consonants. So the recognition of compound characters is more difficult in comparison to that of simple characters due to their structure. This...

objectives: language development is often very slower in hearing impaired children compared with their normal peers. hearing impairment during childhood affects all aspects of speech production and language acquisition. it seems that hearing impaired people suffer from language and speech impairments such as production of complex linguistic structures. the purpose of this study is to determine ...

In this paper some algebraic structures for linguistic fuzzy models are defined for the first time. By definition linguistic fuzzy norm, stability of these systems can be considered. Two methods (normed-based & graphical-based) for stability analysis of linguist fuzzy systems will be presented. At the follow a new simple method for linguistic fuzzy numbers calculations is defined. At the end tw...

This paper discusses inference strategies for fuzzy rule bases resulting from databased automatic rule generation algorithms. Typical methods for rule generation are tree-oriented, statistical and evolutionary approaches. The aim of these data-based methods is the design of compact rule bases with a small number of interpretable rules which map the learning data set and provide a su cient stati...

This essay reflects on the many different strategies involved in translation, which is both a linguistic and a cultural-historical strategy. Examples from the Middle Ages and the Modern Age are adduced to illustrate the huge impact which translations have had on peoples and societies throughout time.

Customer service is increasingly being recognized as a source of competitive advantage. Determining customer needs accurately, meeting and exceeding them in a consistent manner is the key to the effective customer service. Companies should adapt a strategic, proactive focus on customer service based on understanding logistics process and designing logistics system to meet their needs. This ...
