This book provides comprehensive introduction to a consortium of
technologies underlying soft computing, an evolving branch of
computational intelligence. The constituent technologies discussed
comprise neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, and a number
of hybrid systems which include classes such as neuro-fuzzy,
fuzzy-genetic, and neuro-genetic systems. The hybridization of the
technologies is demonstrated on architectures such as
Fuzzy-Back-propagation Networks (NN-FL), Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP
(NN-FL), and Fuzzy Associative Memories. The book also gives an
exhaustive discussion of FL-GA hybridization. Every architecture has
been discussed in detail through illustrative examples and applications.
