3 Introduction As complexity rises, precise statements lose meaning, and meaningful statements lose precision Lotfi Zadeh (1965) Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 3
4 Introduction (I) We rely on common sense to solve problems. How can we represent expert knowledge that uses vague and ambiguous terms in a computer? Fuzzy Logic (FL) is not logic that is fuzzy, but logic that is used to describe fuzziness. FL is the theory of fuzzy sets to calibrate vagueness. FL is based on the idea that all things admit of degrees. Temperature, height, speed, distance, beauty all come on a sliding scale. FL reflects how people think. It attempts to model our sense of words, our decision making and our common sense. For example, the motor is running really hot. Tom is a very tall guy.

5 Introduction (II) FL is a set of mathematical principles for knowledge representation based on degrees of membership. Unlike Boolean logic, FL is multi-valued. It deals with degrees of membership and degrees of truth. FL uses the continuum of logical values between 0 (completely false) and 1 (completely true). Instead of just black and white, it employs the spectrum of values, accepting that things can be partly true and partly false at the same time.

6 Brief History Fuzzy, or multi-valued logic, was introduced in the 1930s by Jan Lukasiewicz, a Polish philosopher. While classical logic operates with only two values 1 (true) and 0 (false), Lukasiewicz introduced logic that extended the range of truth values to all real numbers in the interval between 0 and 1. For example, the possibility that a man 181 cm tall is really tall might be set to a value of It is likely that the man is tall. This work led to an inexact reasoning technique often called possibility theory. In 1965 Lotfi Zadeh, published his famous paper Fuzzy sets. Zadeh extended the work on possibility theory into a formal system of mathematical logic, and introduced a new concept for applying natural language terms. This new logic for representing and manipulating fuzzy terms was called fuzzy logic. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 6

8 But Why? Why fuzzy? As Zadeh said, the term is concrete, immediate and descriptive; we all know what it means. However, many people were repelled by the word fuzzy, because it is usually used in a negative sense. Why logic? Fuzziness rests on fuzzy set theory, and fuzzy logic is just a small part of that theory. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 7
9 The Term Fuzzy Logic The term fuzzy logic is used in two senses: Narrow sense: Fuzzy logic is a branch of fuzzy set theory, which deals (as logical systems do) with the representation and inference from knowledge. Fuzzy logic, unlike other logical systems, deals with imprecise or uncertain knowledge. In this narrow, and perhaps correct sense, fuzzy logic is just one of the branches of fuzzy set theory. Broad Sense: fuzzy logic synonymously with fuzzy set theory Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 8
10 Fuzzy Logic Applications Theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic have been applied to problems in a variety of fields: taxonomy; topology; linguistics; logic; automata theory; game theory; pattern recognition; medicine; law; decision support; Information retrieval; etc. And more recently fuzzy machines have been developed including: automatic train control; tunnel digging machinery; washing machines; rice cookers; vacuum cleaners; air conditioners, ride smoothness control, camcorder auto-focus and jiggle control, braking systems, copier quality control, high performance drives, etc. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 9
11 Fuzzy Logic Applications Advertisement: Extraklasse Washing Machine rpm. The Extraklasse machine has a number of features which will make life easier for you. Fuzzy Logic detects the type and amount of laundry in the drum and allows only as much water to enter the machine as is really needed for the loaded amount. And less water will heat up quicker - which means less energy consumption. Foam detection: Too much foam is compensated by an additional rinse cycle: If Fuzzy Logic detects the formation of too much foam in the rinsing spin cycle, it simply activates an additional rinse cycle. Fantastic! Imbalance compensation: In the event of imbalance, Fuzzy Logic immediately calculates the maximum possible speed, sets this speed and starts spinning. This provides optimum utilization of the spinning time at full speed. Washing without wasting - with automatic water level adjustment: Fuzzy automatic water level adjustment adapts water and energy consumption to the individual requirements of each wash programme, depending on the amount of laundry and type of fabric.

12 Fuzzy Sets and Membership Functions Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 11
13 Fuzzy Sets The concept of a set is fundamental to mathematics. However, our own language is also the supreme expression of sets. The elements of the fuzzy set tall men are all men, but their degrees of membership depend on their height. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 12
14 Crisp and fuzzy sets of tall men Degree of Membership 1.0 Crisp Sets The y-axis represents the membership value of the fuzzy set Degree of Membership Fuzzy Sets Height, cm Height, cm The x-axis represents the universe of discourse Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 13
15 A Fuzzy Set has Fuzzy Boundaries Let X be the universe of discourse and its elements be denoted as x. In the classical set theory, crisp set A of X is defined as function f A (x) called the characteristic function of A: f A (x) : X {0, 1}, where f A ( x) 1, if 0, if x x A A This set maps universe X to a set of two elements. For any element x of universe X, characteristic function f A (x) is equal to 1 if x is an element of set A, and is equal to 0 if x is not an element of A. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 14
16 A Fuzzy Set has Fuzzy Boundaries In the fuzzy theory, fuzzy set A of universe X is defined by function µ A (x) called the membership function of set A µ A (x) : X [0, 1], where µ A (x) = 1 if x is totally in A; µ A (x) = 0 if x is not in A; 0 < µ A (x) < 1 if x is partly in A. This set allows a continuum of possible choices. For any element x of universe X, membership function µ A (x) equals the degree to which x is an element of set A. This degree, a value between 0 and 1, represents the degree of membership, also called membership value, of element x in set A. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 15
17 Classical Logic vs. Fuzzy Logic Classical Logic Element x belongs to set A or it does not: (x) {0,1} Fuzzy Logic Element x belongs to set A with a certain degree of membership: (x) [0,1] A (x) 1 A= young A (x) 1 A= young 0 x [years] 0 x [years] Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 16

22 Fuzzy Linguistic Variables (FLV) Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 21
23 FLV and hedges A FLV is a fuzzy variable. For example, the statement John is tall implies that the linguistic variable John takes the linguistic value tall. A FLV carries with it the concept of fuzzy set qualifiers, called hedges. Hedges are terms that modify the shape of fuzzy sets. They include adverbs such as very, somewhat, quite, more or less and slightly. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 22
24 Examples of FLV color: red, blue, green, yellow, age: young, middle-aged, old, very old size: small, big, very big, distance: near, far, very far, not very far, µ 1 young middle-aged old very old 0 Age Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 23

27 Fuzzy Set Operations and Properties Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 26
28 Characteristics of Fuzzy Sets The classical set theory developed in the late 19th century by Georg Cantor describes how crisp sets can interact. These interactions are called operations. Also fuzzy sets have well defined properties. These properties and operations are the basis on which the fuzzy sets are used to deal with uncertainty on the one hand and to represent knowledge on the other. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 27
29 Note: Membership Functions For the sake of convenience, usually a fuzzy set is denoted as: A = A (x i )/x i +. + A (x n )/x n where A (x i )/x i (a singleton) is a pair grade of membership element, that belongs to a finite universe of discourse: A = {x 1, x 2,.., x n } Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 28
30 Operations of Crisp Sets Not A B A A Complement Containment A B A B Intersection Union Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 29
31 Complement Crisp Sets: Who does not belong to the set? Fuzzy Sets: How much do elements not belong to the set? The complement of a set is an opposite of this set. For example, if we have the set of tall men, its complement is the set of NOT tall men. When we remove the tall men set from the universe of discourse, we obtain the complement. If A is a fuzzy set, its complement A can be found as follows: μ A (x) = 1 A (x) Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 30
32 Containment Crisp Sets: Which sets belong to which other sets? Fuzzy Sets: Which sets belong to other sets? A set can contain other sets. The smaller set is called the subset. For example, the set of tall men contains all tall men; very tall men is a subset of tall men. However, the tall men set is just a subset of the set of men. In crisp sets, all elements of a subset entirely belong to a larger set. In fuzzy sets, however, each element can belong less to the subset than to the larger set. Elements of the fuzzy subset have smaller memberships in it than in the larger set. Tall men: (0/180, 0.25/182.5, 0.5/185, 0.75/187.5, 1/190) Very Tall Men: (0/180, 0.06/182.5, 0.25/185, 0.56/187.5, 1/190) Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 32
33 Intersection Crisp Sets: Which element belongs to both sets? Fuzzy Sets: How much of an element is in both sets? In classical set theory, an intersection between two sets contains the elements shared by these sets. For example, the intersection of the set of tall men and the set of fat men is the area where these sets overlap. In fuzzy sets, an element may partly belong to both sets with different memberships. A fuzzy intersection is the lower membership in both sets of each element. The fuzzy intersection of two fuzzy sets A and B on universe of discourse X: A B (x) = min [ A (x), B (x)] = A (x) B (x), where x X Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 33
34 1 A (x) A B ( x) min [ A( x), ( x)] B x B (x) A B (x) x x Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 35
35 Union Crisp Sets: Which element belongs to either set? Fuzzy Sets: How much of the element is in either set? The union of two crisp sets consists of every element that falls into either set. For example, the union of tall men and fat men contains all men who are tall OR fat. In fuzzy sets, the union is the reverse of the intersection. That is, the union is the largest membership value of the element in either set. The fuzzy operation for forming the union of two fuzzy sets A and B on universe X can be given as: A B (x) = max [ A (x), B (x)] = A (x) B (x), where x X Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 36
36 1 A (x) A B ( x) max [ A( x), ( x)] B x A+B (x) B (x) x x Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 38

38 Properties of Fuzzy Sets Equality of two fuzzy sets Inclusion of one fuzzy set into another fuzzy set Cardinality of a fuzzy set An empty fuzzy set -cuts (alpha-cuts) Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 40
39 Equality Fuzzy set A is considered equal to a fuzzy set B, IF AND ONLY IF (iff): A (x) = B (x), x X A = 0.3/ /2 + 1/3 B = 0.3/ /2 + 1/3 therefore A = B Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 41
40 Inclusion Inclusion of one fuzzy set into another fuzzy set. Fuzzy set A X is included in (is a subset of) another fuzzy set, B X: A (x) B (x), x X Consider X = {1, 2, 3} and sets A and B A = 0.3/ /2 + 1/3; B = 0.5/ /2 + 1/3 then A is a subset of B, or A B Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 42
41 Cardinality Cardinality of a non-fuzzy set, Z, is the number of elements in Z. BUT the cardinality of a fuzzy set A, the so-called SIGMA COUNT, is expressed as a SUM of the values of the membership function of A, A (x): card A = A (x 1 ) + A (x 2 ) + A (x n ) = Σ A (x i ), Consider X = {1, 2, 3} and sets A and B A = 0.3/ /2 + 1/3; B = 0.5/ /2 + 1/3 card A = 1.8 card B = 2.05 for i=1..n Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 43
42 Empty Fuzzy Set A fuzzy set A is empty IF AND ONLY IF: A (x) = 0, x X Consider X = {1, 2, 3} and set A A = 0/1 + 0/2 + 0/3 then A is empty Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 44
43 Alpha-cut An -cut or -level set of a fuzzy set A X is an ORDINARY (CRISP) SET A X, such that: A ={ A (x), x X}. Consider X = {1, 2, 3} and set A A = 0.3/ /2 + 1/3 then A 0.5 = {2, 3}, A 0.1 = {1, 2, 3}, A 1 = {3} Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 45
44 Fuzzy Set Normality A fuzzy subset of X is called normal if there exists at least one element x X such that A (x) = 1. A fuzzy subset that is not normal is called subnormal. All crisp subsets except for the null set are normal. In fuzzy set theory, the concept of nullness essentially generalises to subnormality. The height of a fuzzy subset A is the large membership grade of an element in A height(a) = max x ( A (x)) Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 46
45 Fuzzy Sets Core and Support Assume A is a fuzzy subset of X: the support of A is the crisp subset of X consisting of all elements with non-zero membership grade: supp(a) = {x A (x) 0 and x X} the core of A is the crisp subset of X consisting of all elements with membership grade 1: core(a) = {x A (x) = 1 and x X} Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 47
46 Fuzzy Rules Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 48
47 Fuzzy Rules Fuzzy rules relate fuzzy sets. In a FIS (fuzzy interference system), all rules fire to some extent, or in other words they fire partially. If the antecedent is true to some degree of membership, then the consequent is also true to that same degree. In fuzzy systems, FLV are used in fuzzy rules. Ex: IF project_duration is long THEN completion_risk is high Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 49
48 Fuzzy Rules: An Example These fuzzy sets provide the basis for a weight estimation model. The model is based on a relationship between a man s height and his weight: IF height is tall THEN weight is heavy Degree of Membership Tall men Degree of Membership 1.0 Heavy men Height, cm Weight, kg Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 50
49 Fuzzy Rules: An Example The value of the output or a truth membership grade of the rule consequent can be estimated directly from a corresponding truth membership grade in the antecedent. This form of fuzzy inference uses a method called monotonic selection. Degree of Membership Tall men Degree of Membership Heavy men Height, cm Weight, kg Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 51
50 Fuzzy Rules: Examples A fuzzy rule can have multiple antecedents: IF project_duration is long AND project_staffing is large AND project_funding is inadequate THEN risk is high The consequent of a fuzzy rule can also include multiple parts: IF temperature is hot THEN hot_water is reduced; cold_water is increased Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 52

55 Example Assume we want to evaluate the health state of a person based on his height and weight. The input variables are the crisp numbers of the person s height and weight. Fuzzification is a process by which the numbers (height and weight ) are changed into linguistic words. Fall 2017 Artificial Intelligence: Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Systems 57
