TL;DR: Consciousness is a complex concept that is difficult to analyze precisely using existing theories based on Aristotelian logic and probability theory.

Abstract: Abstract: Interest in issues relating to consciousness has grown markedly during the last several years. And yet, nobody can claim that consciousness is a well‐understood concept that lends itself to precise analysis. It may be argued that, as a concept, consciousness is much too complex to fit into the conceptual structure of existing theories based on Aristotelian logic and probability theory.

Concept learning via granular computing
TL;DR: Cognitive mechanism of forming concepts is analyzed based on the principles from philosophy and cognitive psychology, including how to model concept-forming cognitive operators, define cognitive concepts and establish cognitive concept structure to improve efficiency of concept learning.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a domain specific question-answering system based on fuzzy expert systems using CwW, and probabilistic context-free grammar is used in order to perform the translation of natural language based information into a standard format for use with CWW.

Enhancing Boolean networks with fuzzy operators and edge tuning
TL;DR: This work proposes a modeling approach derived from Boolean networks where fuzzy operators are used and where edges are tuned, expected to bring enhancements in the ability of qualitative models to simulate the dynamics of biological networks while not requiring quantitative information.

A new approach in Zadeh's classification: Fuzzy implication through statistic implication
Filippo Spagnolo,Régis Gras +1 more
- 27 Jun 2004
TL;DR: The implication of Gras keeps in mind richer semantics when it is experimentally compared with other classical implications such as that of Reichenbach and Lukasiewicz and can perhaps have some more interesting results in the applications of the Artificial Intelligence.

The concept of a linguistic variable and its application to approximate reasoning—II☆
TL;DR: Much of what constitutes the core of scientific knowledge may be regarded as a reservoir of concepts and techniques which can be drawn upon to construct mathematical models of various types of systems and thereby yield quantitative information concerning their behavior.

Fuzzy sets as a basis for a theory of possibility
TL;DR: The theory of possibility described in this paper is related to the theory of fuzzy sets by defining the concept of a possibility distribution as a fuzzy restriction which acts as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable.

Outline of a New Approach to the Analysis of Complex Systems and Decision Processes
Lotfi A. Zadeh
- 01 Jan 1973
TL;DR: By relying on the use of linguistic variables and fuzzy algorithms, the approach provides an approximate and yet effective means of describing the behavior of systems which are too complex or too ill-defined to admit of precise mathematical analysis.

Fuzzy logic = computing with words
TL;DR: The point of this note is that fuzzy logic plays a pivotal role in CW and vice-versa and, as an approximation, fuzzy logic may be equated to CW.

Toward a theory of fuzzy information granulation and its centrality in human reasoning and fuzzy logic
TL;DR: M Modes of information granulation (IG) in which the granules are crisp (c-granular) play important roles in a wide variety of methods, approaches and techniques, but this does not reflect the fact that in almost all of human reasoning and concept formation thegranules are fuzzy (f- Granular).
