Fuzzy Systems Essay -- Fuzzy Logic Artificial Intelligence AI

PrefaceThis article is written for an intended audience of undergraduate or graduate students, this article provides an introduction to, and an overview of what fuzzy systems are. Presented in this article is an citation of the contri onlyions that fuzzy systems are making to the Artificial Intelligence discipline, as well as examples of fuzzy systems which are in use today.AbstractThe concept and slaying of fuzzy systems is part of the natural course of evolution for human beings who are a part of a society where access to information is plentiful merely efficient utilization of massive amounts of information is power. To get at the information, we need systems which can understand what we need, rather than for us to understand what information we can carry for.This paper examines how fuzzy systems are not a new concept, but rather an old concept that is a natural part of the evolution of the human race. As society continues to evolve, the implementation and utilization of fuzzy systems will also continue to evolve.IntroductionUsing the following dictionary2 comments provided for the terms Fuzzy and Systems, Fuzzy is outlined as Not clearly worked out confused and Systems can be defined as A set of objects or phenomena grouped together for assortment or abridgment. A natural question would be, why do we want a confused system that groups together things for analysis?This is an abuse of the literal definition for fuzzy systems. Fuzzy systems can be more correctly defined as a set of objects or phenomena that have been grouped together in a fuzzy way. This type of grouping allows the computers to make judgments and considerations which are considered closer, in response, to the way that humans o... ...re information than previously thought possible and make analysis recommendations. Humans have a fascination for tools which make their lives easier, and fuzzy systems are such a tool. This allows humans more time to continue using the unitary thing that c omputers have yet to come us with, the human imagination.References 1. Edwin B.
