Several types of sets, such as hesitant fuzzy sets, permit to express hesitation, doubt, or perplexity during, e.g., a decision-making process. In this paper, we start giving thought to the hesitant operators in certain models such as the 2-tuple models or the symbolic model. On the basis of the definition of uncertainty, hesitation, doubt, etc. in linguistics, we suggest to shed new light on their meaning and on the way they can be linked in the considered frameworks. Five types of hesitant expressions are discussed, and a parallel between the expressions and the mathematical operators in the considered models is drawn. Two new operators in the 2-tuple semantic model and one new operator in the symbolic model are proposed with a classification of all the discussed operators. C 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
In the geolocation field where high-level programs and low-level devices coexist, it is often difficult to find a friendly user interface to configure all the parameters. The challenge addressed in this paper is to propose intuitive and simple, thus natural language interfaces to interact with low-level devices. Such interfaces contain natural language processing (NLP) and fuzzy representations of words that facilitate the elicitation of business-level objectives in our context. A complete methodology is proposed, from the lexicon construction to a dialogue software agent including a fuzzy linguistic representation, based on synonymy.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
