Today’s Topics

Introduction to Soft Computing

I Concept of computing
I Important characteristics of ”Computing”
I ”Soft” computing vs. ”Hard” computing
I Few examples of Soft computing applications
I Characteristics of Soft computing
I Hybrid computing
Concept of Computing

Figure: Basic of computing

y = f (x), f is a mapping function


f is also called a formal method or an algorithm to solve a problem.
Important Characteristics

1. Should provide precise solution.


2. Control action should be unambiguous and accurate.
3. Suitable for problem, which is easy to model mathematically.
Hard Computing
In 1996, LA Zade (LAZ) introduced the term hard computing.
According to LAZ: We term a computing as ”Hard” computing, if
I Precise result is guaranteed
I Control action is unambiguous
I Control action is formally defined (i.e. with
mathematical model

Example:
I Solving numerical problems (e.g. Roots of polynomials,
Integration etc.)
I Searching and sorting techniques
I Solving ”Computational Geometry” problems (e.g. Shortest
tour in Graph theory, Finding closest pair of points, etc.)
Problems in some other areas of applications

I Medical diagnosis
I Person identification / Computer vision
I Hand written character recognition
I Pattern recognition and Machine Intelligence (MI)
I Weather forecasting
I VLSI design
I Network optimization
Characteristics of Soft Computing

I It does not require any mathematical modeling of problem


solving
I It may not yield the precise solution
I Algorithms are adaptive (i.e. it can adjust to the change of
dynamic environment)
I Use some biological inspired methodologies such as genetics,
evolution, Ant’s behaviors, particles swarming, human nervous
systems etc.
Hybrid Computing
It is a combination of the conventional hard computing and
emerging soft computing

Figure: Concept of Hybrid Computing


Problems to ponder

I Hard computing (HC) vs. Soft computing (SC)


I Limitation(s) in HC and SC
I Examples of (only) Hard computing and (only) Soft
computing
I Examples of Hybrid computing
Any Questions??
