Fuzzy logic techniques were originally designed to translate expert knowledge—which is often formulated by using imprecise (“fuzzy”) from natural language (like “small”)—into precise computer-understandable models and control strategies. Such a translation is still the main use of fuzzy techniques. Lately, it turned out that fuzzy methods can help in another class of applied problems: namely, in situations when there are semi-heuristic techniques for solving the corresponding problems, i.e., techniques for which there is no convincing theoretical justification. Because of the lack of a theoretical justification, users are reluctant to use these techniques, since their previous empirical success does not guarantee that these techniques will work well on new problems. In this paper, we show that in many such situations, the desired theoretical justification can be obtained if, in addition to known (crisp) requirements on the desired solution, we also take into account requirements formulated by experts in natural-language terms. Naturally, we use fuzzy techniques to translate these imprecise requirements into precise terms. 2018-09-05T04:26:26Z 2018-09-05T04:26:26Z 2018-01-01 Book Series 14349922 2-s2.0-85047779896 10.1007/978-3-319-75408-6_36 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85047779896&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/58579 |

© 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature. Fuzzy logic techniques were originally designed to translate expert knowledge—which is often formulated by using imprecise (“fuzzy”) from natural language (like “small”)—into precise computer-understandable models and control strategies. Such a translation is still the main use of fuzzy techniques. Lately, it turned out that fuzzy methods can help in another class of applied problems: namely, in situations when there are semi-heuristic techniques for solving the corresponding problems, i.e., techniques for which there is no convincing theoretical justification. Because of the lack of a theoretical justification, users are reluctant to use these techniques, since their previous empirical success does not guarantee that these techniques will work well on new problems. In this paper, we show that in many such situations, the desired theoretical justification can be obtained if, in addition to known (crisp) requirements on the desired solution, we also take into account requirements formulated by experts in natural-language terms. Naturally, we use fuzzy techniques to translate these imprecise requirements into precise terms. |
