Formal concept analysis and rough set theory are two important tools in knowledge representation and knowledge discovery in relational information systems. The purpose of this pap...
The work on prototypes in ontologies pioneered by Rosch [10] and elaborated by Lakoff [8] and Freund [3] is related to vagueness in the sense that the more remote an instance is fr...
Let S ⊆ Zn satisfy the property that conv(S) ∩ Zn = S. Then a convex set K is called an S-free convex set if int(K) ∩ S = ∅. A maximal S-free convex set is an S-free convex...
This paper presents an approach for mining fuzzy Association Rules (ARs) relating the properties of composite items, i.e. items that each feature a number of values derived from a ...
It is introduced a new concept: H-sets which generalises the notion of fuzzy sets and is based on the concept of hemilattice. Then, we extend the attribute-value conceptual spaces ...
