An interval-valued neutrosophic set is a type of neutrosophic sets where the membership, indeterminacy, and non-membership degrees are represented by closed intervals within the unit interval [0, 1]. An interval-valued picture fuzzy set is one of special cases of interval-valued neutrosophic sets. In this paper, we apply interval- valued picture fuzzy sets on almost ideals of semigroups. Moreover, we study a relationship between each almost ideal in a semigroup and their interval-valued picture fuzzifications.
