Abstract

This paper presents a systematic developement of a formal approach to inference in approximate reasoning. We introduce some measures of similarity and discuss their properties. Using the concept of similarity index we formulate two methods for inferring from vague knowledge. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique we use it to develop a vowel recognition system.
