RT Journal Article T1 Characterizing Quantifier Fuzzification Mechanisms: A behavioral guide for applications A1 Díaz Hermida, Félix A1 Pereira Fariña, Martín A1 Vidal Aguiar, Juan Carlos A1 Ramos Soto, Alejandro K1 Fuzzy quantification K1 Determiner fuzzification schemes K1 Theory of generalized quantifiers K1 Quantifier Fuzzification Mechanism K1 Applications of fuzzy quantification AB Important advances have been made in the fuzzy quantification field. Nevertheless, some problems remain when we face the decision of selecting the most convenient model for a specific application. In the literature, several desirable adequacy properties have been proposed, but theoretical limits impede quantification models from simultaneously fulfilling every adequacy property that has been defined. Besides, the complexity of model definitions and adequacy properties makes very difficult for real users to understand the particularities of the different models that have been presented. In this work we will present several criteria conceived to help in the process of selecting the most adequate Quantifier Fuzzification Mechanisms for specific practical applications. In addition, some of the best known well-behaved models will be compared against this list of criteria. Based on this analysis, some guidance to choose fuzzy quantification models for practical applications will be provided PB Elsevier SN 0165-0114 YR 2018 FD 2018-08-15 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18302 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18302 LA eng NO Diaz-Hermida, F., Pereira-Fariña, M., Vidal, J., Ramos-Soto, A.
