Proceedings ArticleDOI
A new look at fuzzy-logic inference
TL;DR: The author constructs a fuzzy modus ponens and other rules of inference which include modus tollens and reductio ad absurdum, and suggests that the implicit processes of inference can be affected in fuzzy logic if one ventures outside the scope of (fuzzy) logic operations.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The role of fidelity in fuzzy-logic inference
TL;DR: The concept of fidelity of inference is introduced to quantify the degree to which the inferred value of a consequent can be regarded as valid and enables many of the results derived earlier for element-by-element implication and derived implication to be taken over to inclusion and derived inclusion.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Transitive fuzzy logic inference for the nearest pattern search
K. Takahashi,K.K. Thornber +1 more
TL;DR: The fidelity based transitive fuzzy-logic inference is utilized to accelerate the nearest neighbour pattern search in the hierarchically categorized filed patterns.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Inference beyond logic: protologic
TL;DR: A countably infinite class of inferences with no counterpart in logic is presented and can serve as a protologic with relatively low fidelity in the absence of the stronger relations of logic, and/or fuzzy-logic inference.
