Book Description

ISBN-10: 0124438660 | ISBN-13: 978-0124438668 | Publication Date: December 25, 1997 | Edition: 1

This volume covers the integration of fuzzy logic and expert systems. A vital resource in the field, it includes techniques for applying fuzzy systems to neural networks for modeling and control, systematic design procedures for realizing fuzzy neural systems, techniques for the design of rule-based expert systems using the massively parallel processing capabilities of neural networks, the transformation of neural systems into rule-based expert systems, the characteristics and relative merits of integrating fuzzy sets, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and rough sets, and applications to system identification and control as well as nonparametric, nonlinear estimation. Practitioners, researchers, and students in industrial, manufacturing, electrical, and mechanical engineering, as well as computer scientists and engineers will appreciate this reference source to diverse application methodologies.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Inspired by the structure of the human brain, artificial neural networks have found many applications due to their ability to solve cumbersome or intractable problems by learning directly from data. Neural networks can adapt to new environments by learning, and deal with information that is noisy, inconsistent, vague, or probabilistic. This volume of Neural Network Systems Techniques and Applications is devoted to the integration of Fuzzy Logic and Expert Systems Applications.
