Abstract :
We propose a method for representing common concepts by fusing conceptual fuzzy sets (CFS) with ontology. We also describe a method of conceptual matching for retrieving information that meets a user´s intentions. The matching is done based on the region of the ontological structure covered by the CFS representing the user´s intention as well as on the original keywords. We apply the proposed conceptual-matching method to an agent, which selects music matching the tone of a text composition. Selection of music for two e-mail notes shows that the proposed system can select music that matches human feelings.
