Study Notes
Introduction to Soft Computing
- Soft computing is a methodology that aims to mimic human thought process in making decisions and arriving at solutions
- Importance of soft computing includes ability to handle uncertainty, imprecision, and ambiguity in real-world problems
Components of Soft Computing
- Fuzzy Logic: deals with uncertainty and imprecision in data
- Artificial Neural Networks: inspired by biological neural networks, used for pattern recognition and learning
- Support Vector Machines: a type of supervised learning algorithm for classification and regression
- Evolutionary Algorithms: inspired by natural selection and genetics, used for optimization
- Hybrid Intelligent Systems: combines multiple soft computing techniques to achieve better results
Introduction to Fuzzy Logic
- Developed by Lotfi A. Zadeh in 1965 as an extension to classical logic
- Deals with approximate rather than exact reasoning
- Classic relations vs fuzzy sets: fuzzy sets allow for gradual membership rather than binary membership
Fuzzy Relations and Operations
- Fuzzy relations: a way to represent relationships between fuzzy sets
- Operations on fuzzy relations include composition, intersection, and union
- Defuzzification: the process of converting a fuzzy set back to a crisp set
Fuzzy Rule Base and Approximate Reasoning
- Fuzzy rule base: a set of rules that describe relationships between inputs and outputs
- Approximate reasoning: the process of drawing conclusions from fuzzy rules
Fuzzy Inference System
- A system that uses fuzzy rules and approximate reasoning to make decisions
- Consists of fuzzification, rule evaluation, and defuzzification stages
Designing a Fuzzy Logic Controller
- A fuzzy logic controller is a control system that uses fuzzy logic to make decisions
- Steps to design a fuzzy logic controller include defining inputs, creating rules, and defuzzification
Machine Learning Predictions
- Process of making predictions using machine learning algorithms
- Steps include understanding the problem, hypothesis generation, data exploration, data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, and model evaluation
Housing Data Set
- A dataset used for prediction tasks in machine learning
- Steps to work with the housing dataset include understanding the problem, getting data, exploring data, preprocessing data, feature engineering, model training using XGBoost, neural networks, and lasso, and model evaluation
