Unveiling the World of Soft Computing Techniques

1. Introduction to Soft Computing Techniques

Soft computing techniques are a collection of computational methods that offer solutions to complex and uncertain problems, much like the way human beings think. This includes neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary computing techniques.

Intelligent systems, which these techniques are integral to, are designed to handle complex and uncertain problems without relying on precise mathematical models. They have three major components:
- Knowledge acquisition and representation : There are three types of knowledge representation for nonlinear systems - quantitative analytical models, data, and heuristic rules. Neural networks are grea
