Key Roles of Information Granulation and Fuzzy Logic in Human Reasoning, Concept Formulation and Computing with Words

摘要

In our quest for machines which could be called intelligent, we are developing a better understanding of how humans reason, form concepts and make rational decisions in an environment of uncertainty and imprecision. What is becoming increasingly clear is that information granulation plays an essential role in human cognition and that it underlies the remarkable human ability to employ words rather than numbers in the solution of imprecisely defined problems.
