Evaluation of the Truth Value of Linguistic Summaries – Case with Non-monotonic Quantifiers

  • Conference paper
Intelligent Systems'2014

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 322))

Abstract

In this paper we investigate linguistic summaries of the form “Q y’s are P”. We consider a case with non-monotonic quantifier, exemplified by a few or about a half. We propose a method for evaluating the truth value of such summaries.
