INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS

Intelligence: System must perform

meaningful operations.

Interprets information.

Comprehends the relations between the

phenomena or objects.

Applies the acquired information to new

conditions.

 OBJECTIVES OF INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS

• Everyday routines of human beings: vision,

language processing, common sense
reasoning, learning, robotics.
• Artificial routines: games, mathematics,
logic, programming.
• Expert systems (ES)

4
TRADITIONAL APPROACHES

• Mathematical models:
Black boxes, number
crunching.
• Rule-based systems (crisp
& bivalent):
Large rule bases.

5
INTELLIGENT CONTROL (IC)

Objective:
Mimic human (linguistic) reasoning

Main constituents:
- Fuzzy systems
- Neural networks
- Evolutionary computing
- Probabilistic reasoning

6
 CONSTITUENTS OF INTELLIGENT
CONTROLLERS

• Fuzzy systems => imprecision

• Neural networks => learning
• Probabilistic reasoning => uncertainty
• Evolutionary computing => optimization

Over 24 000 publications today

Intelligent Controllers are present everywhere.
All we need is an eye for them.

10
 We are witnessing a revolution in the
making as scientists from all different
disciplines discover that complexity has a
strict architecture. We have come to grasp
the important knowledge of intelligent
controllers.

ADVANTAGES OF INTELLIGENT COMPUTING
AND CONTROL
• Models base on human reasoning.
• Models can be
- linguistic
- simple (no number crunching),
- comprehensible (no black boxes),
- fast when computing,
- good in practice.
