TL;DR
A comprehensive investigation of the Z-number approach to CWW, which serves as a model of linguistic summarization of natural language statements, a technique to merge human-affective perspectives with C WW, and consequently can be envisaged to play a radical role in the domain of CWW-based system design and Natural Language Processing NLP.
Abstract
The Z-number is a new fuzzy-theoretic concept, proposed by Zadeh in 2011. It extends the basic philosophy of Computing With Words (CWW) to include the perception of uncertainty of the information conveyed by a natural language statement. The Z-number

By relying on the use of linguistic variables and fuzzy algorithms, the approach provides an approximate and yet effective means of describing the behavior of systems which are too complex or too ill-defined to admit of precise mathematical analysis.

The point of this note is that fuzzy logic plays a pivotal role in CW and vice-versa and, as an approximation, fuzzy logic may be equated to CW.

Perceptions are f-granular, meaning that the boundaries of perceived classes are unsharp; and the values of attributes are granulated, with a granule being a clump of values drawn together by indistinguishability, similarity, proximity, and functionality.

This paper presents crucial elements of CWW, in particular Zadeh's protoforms, and indicates their power and stress a need to develop new tools to handle more modalities, and presents the approach to linguistic data(base) summaries, which is a very intuitive and human-consistent natural-language-based knowledge-discovery tool.

The specific theories addressed in this book are concerned with fuzzy rule-based systems and fuzzy weighted averages, in which the fuzzy membership functions of the input, output and internal variables take interval values, reflecting imprecision in one¿s knowledge of the MF itself.

25 Citations1992Sankar K. Pal, Ambarish Dasgupta
It has been shown that the new concept of spectral fuzzy sets can be considered as a useful tool for the management of uncertainty since it allows the implementation of soft decisions on the basis of various opinions on membership functions resulting in a band of thresholds with their respective uncertainties.
