Precisiated Natural Language and Protoforms for Human Consistent Data Mining

摘要

We show how Zadeh's concepts of a precisiated natural language (PNL) and protoforms can lead to a new direction in the use of natural language in data mining, linguistic data(base) summaries. We show that various types of linguistic data summaries may be viewed as items in a hierarchy of protoforms of summaries. We briefly present an implementation for a sales database of a computer retailer.
