A bidirectional subsethood based similarity measure for fuzzy sets

S Kabir, C Wagner, TC Havens… - 2018 IEEE International …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Similarity measures are useful for reasoning about fuzzy sets. Hence, many classical set-
theoretic similarity measures have been extended for comparing fuzzy sets. In previous …

Measuring the directional or non-directional distance between type-1 and type-2 fuzzy sets with complex membership functions

J McCulloch, C Wagner - IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Fuzzy sets (FSs) may have complex, non-normal, or non-convex membership functions that
occur, for example, in the output of a fuzzy logic system or when automatically generating …

Semantic distance between vague concepts in a framework of modeling with words

W Zhang, H Hu, H Hu, J Fang - Soft Computing, 2019 - Springer
Effectively measuring the similarity or dissimilarity of two vague concepts plays a key step in
reasoning and computing with vague concepts. In this paper, we define semantic distances …

Analysing fuzzy sets through combining measures of similarity and distance

J McCulloch, C Wagner… - 2014 IEEE International …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Reasoning with fuzzy sets can be achieved through measures such as similarity and
distance. However, these measures can often give misleading results when considered …
