Abstract
Interval-valued Type 2 fuzziness exists and provides a richer knowledge representation and approximate reasoning for computing with words. First, it has been shown that membership values reveal a scatter plot and thus represents a varying degrees of meaning for words. This is realized whether they are acquired subjectively in measurement experiments or they are captured by fuzzy clustering methods. Secondly, it has been shown that the combination of linguistic values with linguistic operators, such as, "AND", "OR", "IMP", etc., as opposed to t-norms and co-norms, and standard negation, generates Fuzzy Disjunctive and Conjunctive Canonical Forms, FDCF and FCCF, respectively. Recently, we have shown that there is a natural connection between Dempster's multi-valued mapping and interval-valued Type 2 fuzzy sets. In particular, it is shown that FDCF and FCCF corresponds to lower and upper set approximations obtained by a newly proposed Dempster-Turksen formalism.
