Approximation of Indistinct Concepts

This theory on semi-equivalence r e l a t i o n s is an important and useful tool for i n v e s t i g a t i n g c l a s s i f i c a t i o n , pattern r e c o g n i t i o n , p o l l i n g and inference etc. Based on i t , t h i s paper presents a new framework, in which an i n d i s t i n c t concept, that is one with incomplete or undetermined information about the objects, can be represented approximately. Such an approximate representation w i l l r e f l e c t deep structures of concepts which are meaningful for the system. Clearly, the work we present here is to a great extent inspired by general discussions of knowledge engineering research. The theory developed here seems to be of i n t e r e s t in knowledge representation and natural language processing. From the implementation point of view, this theory can be r e a l i z e d by various AI techniques.
