Abstract
A notion of fuzzy covering over a set of terms was proposed as a generalization of a well known fuzzy partition. Degree of similarity relationship between fuzzy classes (subsets) on the set of terms (subjects) as results of the fuzzy covering is approximately calculated using a fuzzy conditional probability relation by which degree of similarity relationship between two terms can be determined. An associated function was defined to calculate degree of association between two terms. Special attention will be given to generate a concept of fuzzy thesaurus using the associated function. Its some properties are discussed and examined. A simple example is given to demonstrate the concept.
