We have introduced the linguistic weighted power mean and its computation via a generalization of the Karnick-Mendel algorithm. This new family of aggregation operators admits interval type-2 fuzzy membership functions for both its inputs and its weights to account for imprecise knowledge of these quantities. The simplest member of this family, the linguistic weighted average, is the primary instantiation...

We propose a framework for building dictionaries...
