In this paper, two novel FIPMs are set up. Firstly, an axiom theory about the FIPM is given, and different expressions of the FIPM are discussed. A new FIPM is then proposed based on the axiom theory of the FIPM and the concept of fuzzy subsethood function. Two concepts based on the idea of Shannon information entropy, fuzzy joint entropy (FJE) and fuzzy conditional entropy (FCE), are proposed and the basic properties of FJE and FCE are given and proved. Finally, classical similarity measures such as dissimilarity measure (DM) and similarity measure (SM) are studied, and two new measures, fuzzy absolute information measure (FAIM) and fuzzy relative information measure (FRIM), are set up, which can be used as measures of the proximity between fuzzy sets A and B. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551507076332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,13]],"date-time":"2007-07-13T01:01:05Z","timestamp":1184288465000},"page":"678-685","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Novel fuzzy information proximity measures"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Shi-Fei","family":"Ding","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Technology, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou, China,"}]},{"given":"Shi-Xiong","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Technology, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou, China"}]},{"given":"Feng-Xiang","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoinformation Science and Engineering.
