Modeling temporal relations between Fuzzy TIME intervals: A disjunctive view

摘要

In many applications domains, time modeling has a fundamental role. Allen temporal relations are one of the most used and known formalisms for modeling and handling temporal data. However, classical Allen relations deal only with crisp time information, but time is often subjective and fuzzy. This paper discusses a disjunctive view of temporal relations between fuzzy time intervals. This approach is mostly based on an extension of Allen relations allowing to compare two fuzzy time intervals. By leveraging some particular fuzzy comparison indices, this extension is implemented in the Fuzz - TIME tool developed in our previous works.
