Seminar on Soft Computing 1-2 units 1 hour 1/2 lecture http:/www.cs.berkeley.edu/~nikraves/bisc/bisc.html DESCRIPTION:
Soft computing (SC) is an associate of computing methodologies centered on
fuzzy logic (FL), neurocomputing (NC), evolutionary
computing (EC), machine learning (ML) and probabilistic variety of conceptual
and computational tools for conception, design, construction and utilization
of information/intelligent systems. The basic premise underlying soft
computing is that its constituent methodologies are for the most part
complementary and synergistic rather than competitive. The guiding principle
of soft computing is: Exploit the tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty and
partial truth to achieve tractability, robustness, low solution cost and
better rapport with reality. Representative of the topics discussed in the
Seminar are: Qualitative and approximate reasoning; computing with word;
manipulation of perceptions, intelligent control; intelligent information
systems; expert systems; chaotic systems; image analysis and image
understanding; speech and natural language processing; planning; learning;
search; data mining; and decision analysis. PREREQUISITES:
The course is self-contained. No prior knowledge of soft computing
methodology is required. INSTRUCTIRS:
Lotfi A. Zadeh and M.

as BISC administrator. Lotfi
