PART A- INTRODUCTION OF THE COURSE

In the field of computer science, Soft computing is a set of algorithms, including neural networks,
fuzzy logic, and evolutionary algorithms. These algorithms are tolerant of imprecision,
uncertainty, partial truth and approximation. It is contrasted with hard computing: algorithms
which find provably correct and optimal solutions to problems.

Course Objective and Summary

• To introduce the ideas of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic and use of heuristics
based on human experience.
• To provide the mathematical background for carrying out the
optimization associated with neural network learning
• To learn various evolutionary algorithms.
• To become familiar with neural networks that can learn from
available examples and generalize to form appropriate rules for
inference systems.
• To introduce case studies utilizing the above and illustrate the
Intelligent behaviour of programs based on algorithms.
