Identifying cancer cells in a medical image and altering the trajectory of airplanes at take-off and landing to reduce noise pollution are just two of the goals of new research projects based on the ...

A mathematical technique for dealing with problems that have many solutions. Although fuzzy logic is implemented in digital computers which make only yes-no decisions, it works with ranges of values, ...

Fuzzy logic programming extends classical logic programming by permitting truth values to range over a continuum rather than being restricted to binary outcomes. This framework integrates fuzzy set ...

Probably, we all agree that we should not see the world in black and white. One of our most important abilities as human beings, which separates us from machines, is the ability to see events as ...

Then in the early 20th century, Jan Lukasiewicz proposed a three-valued logic (true, possible, false), which never gained wide acceptance. In 1965, Lotfi A. Zadeh of the University of California at ...

One night in July, 1964, the logician Lotfi Zadeh found himself alone in his parents’ New York apartment, his dinner plans cancelled. At the time, Zadeh later wrote, he was doing “a lot of thinking ...

Fuzzy logic is an approach to computing based on "degrees of truth" rather than the usual "true or false" (1 or 0) Boolean logic on which the modern computer is based. In artificial intelligence (AI) ...

The digital computing world is built on a structure of Boolean logic applied to binary values — one or zero, yes or no, in or out. But this powerful structure is a gross oversimplification of the real ...
