Algorithm for reasoning with words based on linguistic fuzzy cognitive map.

Summary: In this paper, we introduce a method for reasoning with words based on hedge algebra using linguistic cognitive map (핃ℂ필). Our model consists of a set of vertices and edges whose values are linguistic variables that are constrained by a linguistic lattice. The algorithm for the system studied consists of fuzzification, reasoning, and defuzzification. Further, the total effect between any two vertices in the 핃ℂ필 is computed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
