aiding people in making subjective judgments
1 online resource (xvi, 320 pages) : illustrations
Explains for the first time how "computing with words" can aid in making subjective judgments. Lotfi Zadeh, the father of fuzzy logic, coined the phrase "computing with words" (CWW) to describe a methodology in which the objects of computation are words and propositions drawn from a natural language. Perceptual Computing explains how to implement CWW to aid in the important area of making subjective judgments, using a methodology that leads to an interactive device--a "Perceptual Computer"--That propagates random and linguistic uncertainties into the subjective judg.
