Abstract

We discuss the origin of the notion of similarity, basic concepts connected with it and some methods of representing this conception in mathematical setting. We present a framework of recognition that is based on multi-aspects similarity. The framework is implemented in form of a network of comparators, that processes similarity expressed in terms of fuzzy sets. Our approach introduces a new standard to the field of similarity computing and processing.
