Abstract
The spatio-temporal reasoning is an import field of artificial intelligence. However the qualitative distance (like near or far) which can be the result of a natural language processing is almost impossible to interpret due to its relative character (connected with a specific language competences of an interlocutor, the context of usage and the perspective of observation). That is why we present a technique for the construction of the fuzzy values associated with such expressions which is based on the questionnaire experiment performed via Internet. We also show how the final linguistic variables can simple became arguments for complex calculations. The presented solution can be treat as a general method applicable in many areas.
