Student Seminar-1: SOFT COMPUTING: Emerging Trend in Information Technology
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th mile, Mysore Road, RVCE post Bangalore 560059 SEMINAR-1 SOFT COMPUTING: Emerging Trend in Information Technology Abstract Soft Computing became a formal Computer Science area of study in the early 1990's. Earlier computational approaches could model and precisely analyze only relatively simple systems. These technologies are termed as hard computing. But in real world, queries cannot be answered in a straight-forward yes or no. So machines should be tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth and approximation. To deal with such problems, soft computing came in picture. The methodology to create soft computing is nature inspired and its role model is human brain. As the core elements of soft computing fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, machine learning and probabilistic reasoning are simulate to human brain. Therefore, unlike hard computing, soft computing provides intelligence to machines to respond in varying degrees of truth. This seminar is an effort to discuss evolution of soft computing, its goals, core elements and its application in various fields. Speaker: Amrish Dubey Date: 24-08-2017 Time: 2 p.m Venue: DRTC class room(G-21)ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited.
