Modelling with Words is an emerging modelling methodology closely related to the paradigm of Computing with Words introduced by Lotfi Zadeh.

This book is an authoritative collection of key contributions to the new concept of Modelling with Words. A wide range of issues in systems modelling and analysis is presented, extending from conceptual graphs and fuzzy quantifiers to humanist computing and self-organizing maps. Among the core issues investigated are

- balancing predictive accuracy and high level transparency in learning

- scaling linguistic algorithms to...

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Second Fuzzy Logic in AI Workshop, held in conjunction with IJCAI '93 in Chambery, France in August 1993.
The book contains full revised versions of the papers presented at the workshop and covers several aspects of fuzzy logic in contributions from renowned researchers. This volume reflects the aim of the workshop, namely to serve as a platform for fruitful contacts between fuzzy engineering researchers interested in AI and AI researchers interested in fuzzy logic applications in engineering: when it comes to designing intelligent systems...
