Soft computing, fuzzy logic and recognition technology
Lotfi A. Zadeh · 2002
Recognition systems of one kind or another have been around for a long time. But what we are beginning to see today are recognition systems that are capable of performing tasks that could not be done in the past. The quantum jump in the capabilities of today's recognition systems reflect three converging developments: (a) major advances in sensor technology; (b) major advances in sensor data processing technology; and (c) the use of soft computing techniques to infer a conclusion from observed data.
