Modelling and Reasoning with Vague Concepts

Exploring the role of vagueness in human communication, the book highlights its significance in natural language's flexibility and robustness. It argues that precise definitions often limit our ability to convey meaning, as perceptions are typically imprecise. This inherent vagueness allows for effective communication without strict measurements. The study aims to integrate this adaptability into AI systems through formal models of vague concepts, addressing the challenges of uncertainty in information exchange among autonomous agents.
