Similarity measures for intuitionistic linguistic numbers, intuitionistic linguistic vectors and application

In this paper, we propose intuitionistic linguistic vector (ILV) as a tuple of intuitionistic linguistic numbers (ILNs). ILV can describe information which involves multiple linguistic terms according to different intuitionistic fuzzy values. Similarity measures for ILNs and ILVs are also given. The novel concepts are used to construct a classification algorithm (Intuitionistic Fuzzy Linguistic Vector Similarity Measure based Classification Algorithm, IFLVS). The performance of proposed algorithm is validated by experiments.
