DefuzzificationDefuzzification is the process of producing a quantifiable result in crisp logic, given fuzzy sets and corresponding membership degrees. It is the process that maps a fuzzy set to a crisp set. It is typically needed in fuzzy control systems. These systems will have a number of rules that transform a number of variables into a fuzzy result, that is, the result is described in terms of membership in fuzzy sets. For example, rules designed to decide how much pressure to apply might result in "Decrease Pressure (15%), Maintain Pressure (34%), Increase Pressure (72%)".
Type-2 fuzzy sets and systemsType-2 fuzzy sets and systems generalize standard Type-1 fuzzy sets and systems so that more uncertainty can be handled. From the beginning of fuzzy sets, criticism was made about the fact that the membership function of a type-1 fuzzy set has no uncertainty associated with it, something that seems to contradict the word fuzzy, since that word has the connotation of much uncertainty. So, what does one do when there is uncertainty about the value of the membership function? The answer to this question was provided in 1975 by the inventor of fuzzy sets, Lotfi A.
Théorie des ensembles approximatifsThéorie des ensembles approximatifs – est un formalisme mathématique proposé en 1982 par le professeur Zdzisław Pawlak. Elle généralise la théorie des ensembles classique. Un ensemble approximatif (anglais : rough set) est un objet mathématique basé sur la logique 3 états. Dans sa première définition, un ensemble approximatif est une paire de deux ensembles : une approximation inférieure et une approximation supérieure. Il existe également un type d'ensembles approximatifs défini par une paire d'ensembles flous (anglais : fuzzy set).
Neuro-fuzzyIn the field of artificial intelligence, the designation neuro-fuzzy refers to combinations of artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic. Neuro-fuzzy hybridization results in a hybrid intelligent system that combines the human-like reasoning style of fuzzy systems with the learning and connectionist structure of neural networks. Neuro-fuzzy hybridization is widely termed as fuzzy neural network (FNN) or neuro-fuzzy system (NFS) in the literature.
VaguenessIn linguistics and philosophy, a vague predicate is one which gives rise to borderline cases. For example, the English adjective "tall" is vague since it is not clearly true or false for someone of middling height. By contrast, the word "prime" is not vague since every number is definitively either prime or not. Vagueness is commonly diagnosed by a predicate's ability to give rise to the Sorites paradox. Vagueness is separate from ambiguity, in which an expression has multiple denotations.
Logique floueLa logique floue (fuzzy logic, en anglais) est une logique polyvalente où les valeurs de vérité des variables — au lieu d'être vrai ou faux — sont des réels entre 0 et 1. En ce sens, elle étend la logique booléenne classique avec des . Elle consiste à tenir compte de divers facteurs numériques pour qu'on souhaite acceptable.
Système intelligent flouUn système intelligent flou (SIF) est un système qui intègre (implémente) de l’expertise humaine et qui vise à automatiser (imiter) le raisonnement d’experts humains face à des systèmes complexes. Il constitue une part importante de l’intelligence artificielle et du soft computing. Un système intelligent flou se base sur la théorie logique qu'est la logique floue.
UncertaintyUncertainty refers to epistemic situations involving imperfect or unknown information. It applies to predictions of future events, to physical measurements that are already made, or to the unknown. Uncertainty arises in partially observable or stochastic environments, as well as due to ignorance, indolence, or both. It arises in any number of fields, including insurance, philosophy, physics, statistics, economics, finance, medicine, psychology, sociology, engineering, metrology, meteorology, ecology and information science.
