A New Calculus for Linguistic Prototypes in Data Analysis

Abstract

A random set semantics for imprecise concepts is introduced. It is then demonstrated how label descriptions of data sets can be learnt in this framework. These descriptions take the form of linguistic prototypes representing amalgams of elements. The potential of this approach for classification and query evaluation is then investigated.
