Linguistic database summaries and their protoforms: towards natural language based knowledge discovery tools

We consider linguistic data(base) summaries in the sense of Yager [Information Sciences 28 (1982) 69-86], exemplified by "most employees are young and well paid" (with some degree of truth added), for a personnel database, as an intuitive, human consistent and natural language based knowledge discovery tool. We present first an extension of the classic Yager's approach to involve more sophisticated criteria of goodness, search methods, etc. We advocate the use of the concept of a protoform (prototypical form), that is recently vividly advocated by Zadch [A prototype-centered approach to adding deduction capabilities to search engines-the concept of a protoform. BISC Seminar, University of California, Berkeley, 2002], as a general form of a linguistic data summary. We present an extension of our interactive approach, based on fuzzy logic and fuzzy database queries, which makes it possible to implement such linguistic data summaries. We show how fuzzy queries are related to linguistic summaries, and show that one can introduce a hierarchy of protoforms, or abstract summaries in the sense of latest Zadeh's. [A prototype-centered approach to adding deduction capabilities to search engines-the concept of a protoform. BISC Seminar, University of California, Berkeley, 2002] ideas meant mainly for increasing deduction capabilities of search engines. For illustration we show an implementation for a sales database in a computer retailer, employing some type of a protoform of a linguistic summary. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Inc.

我们从Yager的意义上考虑语言数据（基础）摘要[信息科学28（1982）69-86]，例如“大多数员工年轻且薪水高”（添加了一定程度的真相），对于人事数据库，作为一种直观，人类一致和基于自然语言的知识发现工具。我们首先提出了经典Yager的方法，即涉及更复杂的善良，搜索方法等。我们主张使用原型基形式的概念（原型形式），最近由Zadch生动地提倡[一个以原型为中心的原型添加推论功能来搜索引擎的方法 - 原型的概念。加州大学伯克利分校的BISC研讨会，2002年]，作为语言数据摘要的一种一般形式。我们基于模糊逻辑和模糊数据库查询提供了交互式方法的扩展，这使得实现此类语言数据摘要成为可能。我们展示了模糊的查询与语言摘要是如何相关的，并表明人们可以从最新的Zadeh的意义上介绍原型层次结构或抽象摘要。 [一种以原型为中心的方法来增加搜索引擎的推论能力 - 原型基质的概念。加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的BISC研讨会，2002年]的想法主要是为了提高搜索引擎的扣除能力。为了进行插图，我们显示了计算机零售商中销售数据库的实施，采用了某种类型的语言摘要。 （c）2005年由Elsevier Inc.出版
