Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Set Theory
2
Some Fuzzy Background
Lofti Zadeh has coined the term “Fuzzy Set” in 1965 and opened a new field of research and applicationsA Fuzzy Set is a class with different degrees of membership. Almost all real world classes are fuzzy!Examples of fuzzy sets include: {‘Tall people’}, {‘Nice day’}, {‘Round object’} …
If a person’s height is 1.88 meters is he considered ‘tall’?What if we also know that he is an NBA player?

A Crisp Definition of Fuzzy Logic
• Does not exist, however …- Fuzzifies bivalent Aristotelian (Crisp) logicIs “The sky are blue” True or False?
• Modus PonensIF <Antecedent == True> THEN <Do Consequent>IF (X is a prime number) THEN (Send TCP packet)• Generalized Modus PonensIF “a region is green and highly textured” AND “the region is somewhat below a sky region”THEN “the region contains trees with high confidence”

Fuzzy Vs. Probability
Walking in the desert, close to being dehydrated, you find two bottles of water:
The first contains deadly poison with a probability of 0.1
The second has a 0.9 membership value in the Fuzzy Set “Safe drinks”
Which one will you choose to drink from???

Membership Functions (MFs)
• What is a MF? • Linguistic Variable• A Normal MF attains ‘1’ and ‘0’ for some input
• How do we construct MFs?– Heuristic– Rank ordering– Mathematical Models– Adaptive (Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms …)

Crisp Vs. Fuzzy
Fuzzy Sets• Membership values on [0,1]• Law of Excluded Middle and Non-
Contradiction do not necessarily hold:
• Fuzzy Membership Function• Flexibility in choosing the
Intersection (T-Norm), Union (S-Norm) and Negation operations
Crisp Sets• True/False {0,1}• Law of Excluded Middle and Non-
Contradiction hold:
• Crisp Membership Function• Intersection (AND) , Union (OR),
and Negation (NOT) are fixed

Summary• Fuzzy Logic can be useful in solving Human related tasks• Evidence Theory gives tools to handle knowledge• Membership functions and Aggregation methods can be selected according to the problem at hand
Some things we didn’t talk about:• Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm• Dempster-Schafer theory of combining evidence• Fuzzy Relation Equations (FRE)• Compositions• Fuzzy Entropy
