TLDR
The way in which this design of the representation is done by means of fuzzy sets, connectives and relations marks a distinction between the fuzzy and the formal logic methodologies, two different disciplines whose design process and agendas are not coincidental.
Abstract
This paper tries to show, from a theoretical perspective, the importance of designing well the representation of fuzzy systems whose behaviour is described by a linguistic description. The way in which this design of the representation is done by means of fuzzy sets, connectives and relations marks a distinction between the fuzzy and the formal logic methodologies, two different disciplines whose design process and agendas are not coincidental.

An essay on the linguistic roots of fuzzy sets

TL;DR: This paper mainly tries to show that the membership function of a fuzzy set labeled P does show some intrinsic property related with how P is actually managed in the universe of discourse.

A model for “crisp reasoning” with fuzzy sets

TL;DR: This paper deals with a new theoretic view on the commonsense reasoning, consisting of a kind of Popper's search for conjectures and refutations, represented by crisp and fuzzy sets.

Some Reflections on Fuzzy Set Theory as an Experimental Science

TL;DR: It is argued that Trillas’s claim not only strongly supports the necessity for such a distinction, but provides a path of investigation which can preserve the conceptual innovativeness of the notion of fuzziness.

Reasons for a careful design of fuzzy sets

TL;DR: It is concluded that as argued in the case of fuzzy sets, the involved operations in rules and systems should be at least carefully chosen, if not specially designed.

Likelihood-fuzzy analysis: From data, through statistics, to interpretable fuzzy classifiers

TL;DR: A method named Likelihood-Fuzzy Analysis for translating statistical information coming from labeled data into a fuzzy classification system is proposed, showing high performances and semantic power, with respect to well-established methods, including fuzzy systems and non-fuzzy approaches.

Fuzzy SETS AND FUZZY LOGIC

TL;DR: Lotfi Zadeh (1965) introduced fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic, and promoted these as a way of reasoning about uncertainty in computer systems.
