abstract = {With complex multimedia data, we see the emergence of
database systems in which the fundamental operation is similarity
assessment. Before database issues can be addressed, it is necessary to
give a definition of similarity as an operation. We develop a
similarity measure, based on fuzzy logic, that exhibits several
features that match experimental findings in humans. The model is
dubbed fuzzy feature contrast (FFC) and is an extension to a more
general domain of the feature contrast model due to Tversky (1977). We
show how the FFC model can be used to model similarity assessment from
fuzzy judgment of properties, and we address the use of fuzzy measures
to deal with dependencies among the properties.},
