Randomness and fuzziness are the two most important uncertainties inherent in human cognition, which have attracted great attention in artificial intelligence research. In this paper, regarding linguistic terms or concepts as the basic units Of human cognition, we propose a new cognitive model loud model, which can synthetically describe the randomness and fuzziness of concepts and implement the uncertain transformation between a qualitative concept and its quantitative instantiations. Furthermore, by analyzing in detail the statistical properties of normal cloud model. that is, an important kind of cloud models based on normal distribution and Gauss membership function we show that normal cloud model can not only be viewed as a generalized normal distribution with weak constraints but also avoid the flaw of fuzzy sets to quantify the membership degree of an element as an accurate value between 0 and 1 and, therefore, may be more adaptive for uncertainty description of linguistic concepts. Finally, two demonstration examples about the fractal evolution of plants and network topologies based on cloud models are given 10 illustrate the promising applications of cloud models in some more complex knowledge representation tasks.
