Soft computing. Integrating evolutionary, neural, and fuzzy systems

From MaRDI portal





The authors explain that soft computing is a term covering such computing methodologies which are, in some sense, tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth. There are three of them exposed in this book, namely: fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms and artificial neural networks -- all inspired by nature. In the first part of the book (from the beginning to the third chapter) the basics of fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation and artificial neural networks are presented. The second part (next four chapters) describe the various ways in which these fundamental methods can interact: chapter 4 deals with the evolutionary design of artificial neural networks, chapter 5 is about the use of evolution in fuzzy systems, chapter 6 on neuro-fuzzy systems and chapter 7 on fuzzy evolutionary algorithms. Chapter Eight is devoted to parallelism from a biologically inspired point of view. The book contains many examples of applications, which cover a broad spectrum: finance, medicine, robotics and others.
