Abstract

In this paper, we will formalize the way, how people make inferences on the basis of the, so called, linguistic description which is a set of fuzzy IF-THEN rules understood as expressions of natural language. We will explain our idea on the following example.

The paper has been supported by grants 201/04/1033 of the GA ČR, A1075301 of the GA AV ČR and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft as part of the Collaborative Research Center “Computational Intelligence” (531).
