Semantic transfer and contradictory evidence in intuitionistic fuzzy sets Christopher Hinde Robert S. Patching Stephen A. McCoy 2134/4120 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/conference_contribution/Semantic_transfer_and_contradictory_evidence_in_intuitionistic_fuzzy_sets/9405683 The relationship between object level intuitionistic fuzzy sets and predicate based intuitionistic fuzzy sets is explored. Mass assignment uses a process called semantic unification to evaluate the degree to which one set supports another, the inverse function is semantic separation. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are mapped onto a mass assignment framework and the semantic unification operator is generalised to support both mass assignment and intuitionistic fuzzy sets, as is semantic separation. Transfer of inconsistent and contradictory evidence are also dealt with. 2009-01-27 08:40:06 Inconsistency Contradiction Intuitionistic fuzzy sets Mass assignment Semantic unification Conditionalisation Semantic separation Abduction Information and Computing Sciences not elsewhere classified
