Bipolar Queries Using Various Interpretations of Logical Connectives

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNAI,volume 4529)

Abstract

In [1,2] we studied various concepts of bipolar queries (cf. Dubois and Prade [3]). We advocated the use of a fuzzified version of the original crisp definition by Lacroix and Lavency [4]. However, the general fuzzification proposed leaves open the choice of a representation of logical connectives and quantifiers. In the present paper we study the influence of the choice some representations that are popular in fuzzy logic on matching degrees of the tuples and their resulting ordering.
