Abstract
This paper considers that concepts of objects are sets of vague patterns of multiple attributes. These concepts can be recalled through association among the vague patterns. By the association and recollection of concepts consisting of multiple vague patterns, the concepts under insufficient or imprecise information can be also recolledcted.It has been reported that multistage inference of fuzzy logic explodes vagueness. This explosion will erase all the information in the inputted patterns. This is also the case in the association among vague patterns. Suppression of increase of vaguenness should be studied.This paper proposes a network which can associate and recall concepts on combinations of multi vague patterns. A mechanism for suppression of vagueness is introduced into the association among the vague information. Feasibility of the proposed method is verified by simulations using fruits having the attributes of taste, color, shape, etc.
