Soft Computing
Overview and Applications
Introduction to Soft Computing
– From childhood, we are taught strict rules that always hold true.
– In the real world, it's not always possible to find precise answers.
– Natural systems tend to do things they believe are true rather than
what is compulsorily true.
– Real life is filled with uncertainty and imprecision.
Example of Uncertainty
– A child asked to separate 1000 pieces of fruit may struggle with
precision.
– Real-life scenarios involve imprecision and approximations.
– Uncertainty exists not only in natural systems but also in human-made
systems.
Applications of Soft Computing
– Soft computing is used in speaker recognition, handwriting
recognition, face recognition, disease identification, etc.
– Systems using soft computing handle uncertainties and imprecisions.
Soft Computing vs Hard Computing
– Hard computing deals with precise computation using strict rules.
– Soft computing handles problems with imprecision and uncertainty.
– Soft computing sacrifices some precision for solving complex, real-
world problems.
Definitions of Soft Computing
– Soft computing is an emerging approach to computing that parallels
the human mind's ability to reason and learn in an environment of
uncertainty and imprecision. - Prof. Lofti Zadeh
– The guiding principle of soft computing is to exploit tolerance for
imprecision and uncertainty to achieve tractability, robustness, and
low solution cost. - Prof. Lofti Zadeh
Optimization Problems
– Optimization involves finding optimal values for parameters that
minimize an objective (cost) function.
– Soft computing techniques are well-suited for handling optimization
problems.
Advantages of Soft Computing
– Soft computing can solve problems that are too complex for traditional
methods.
– It offers robust and scalable solutions with little loss of precision.
