Treatment of fuzziness in natural language by fuzzy lingual system-FLINS

The Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering Research (LIFE) is developing a natural language communication system called Fuzzy Lingual System (FLINS). This paper briefly describes methods used in FLINS to treat fuzziness in natural language, namely an inference method for natural language propositions involving fuzzy quantifiers, an inference method extended the case-based reasoning by fuzzy theory and a learning method using fuzzy analogy.<
