Title: Does informal logic have anything to learn from fuzzy logic? Author: John Woods Response to this paper by: Rolf George (c)2000 John Woods 1. Motivation Since antiquity, philosophers have been challenged by the apparent vagueness of everyday thought and experience. How, these philosophers have wanted to know, are the things we say and think compatible with logical laws such as Excluded Middle?1 A kindred attraction has been the question of how truth presents itself — relatively and in degrees? in approximations? in resemblances, or in bits and pieces? F.H. Bradley is a celebrated (or as the case may be, excoriated) champion of the degrees view of truth. There are, one may say, two main views of error, the absolute and relative. According to the former view there are perfect truths, and on the other side there are sheer errors..

  • Decision Making: Fuzzy Logic
    First, a bit of history, my 1965 paper on fuzzy sets was motivated by my feeling that the then existing theories provided no means of dealing with a pervasive aspect of reality—unsharpness (fuzziness) of class boundaries. Without such means, realistic models of human-centered and biological systems are hard to construct. My expectation was that fuzzy set theory would be welcomed by the scientific communities in these and related fields. Contrary to my expectation, in these fields, fuzzy set theory was met with skepticism and, in some instances, with hostility. What I did not anticipate was that, for many years after the debut of fuzzy set theory, its Decision Making: main applications would be in the realms of engineering systems and consumer products. Fuzzy Logic … Underlying the concept of a linguistic variable is a fact which is widely unrecognized—a fact which relates to the 2018-03-15 concept of precision. Precision has two distinct meanings—precision in value and precision in meaning. The first meaning is traditional. The second meaning is not. The second meaning is rooted in fuzzy logic. -- Lotfi Zadeh, 2013 Questions (N-2) 1. What are the 2 most “complex” decision making techniques we’ve seen? 2. What are their strengths? Weaknesses? 3. What is the key (insight) to their success? 4. What does Planning have that (forward chaining) RBS do not? 5. When do we need a communication mechanism? 2 Questions (N-1) 1. Cooperative problem solving / distributed expertise is using h___ to d__ problems into smaller parts. 2. R__ experts rarely communicate/collaborate.

The system encompasses the functions of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to bring the power to the maximum value, load power regulation and control of battery operation. An algorithm that tracks the maximum power, and the corresponding fuzzy logic controller were developed. An improved method for the battery operation regulation including a fuzzy logic controller was applied. Load voltage regulation was achieved by a modified cascaded PI controller. The power regulation system managed to stabilize the load power, proved fast MPPT tracking and regulation of the battery operation in the presence of fluctuations and fast input variations. The work included a study of the importance of university-industry collaboration to innovation in renewable energy. The current collaboration channels and the contribution of the current work was analysed through a questionnaire directed to the supervisor.

An Abstract of Kidney Compatibility Score Generation for a Donor – Recipient pair Using Fuzzy Logic by Sampath Kumar Yellanki Submitted to Graduate School as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Science Degree in Engineering The University of Toledo December 2012 This thesis, proposes and implements a Fuzzy Logic based Hierarchical model to address the problem of filtering the donor recipient pairs by predicting a kidney compatibility score. Donor – Recipient pair incompatibility is one of the major problems encountered in Renal Transplantation. Kidney Paired Donation is a barter system where the pairs exchange the donor organs to overcome the disadvantage of incompatibility. Identification of such pairs requires a Kidney Transplant Surgeon to evaluate the compatibility of swapped pairs. Unfortunately, such incompatible pairs run into huge numbers which is a herculean task for a surgeon and can prone to human fatigue. This work presents a Hierarchical System developed based on Fuzzy Logic to determine the quality of a Kidney Transplant based on various input parameters.

Pal Abstract—This correspondence points out several published errors in replicates of the well-known Iris data, which was collected in 1935 by Anderson [1], but first published in 1936 by Fisher [2]. Index Terms—Iris data. I. INTRODUCTION AND CONCLUSIONS While preparing Kuncheva and Bezdek [3], these authors discov- ered that there are (at least) two distinct published replicates of the Iris data that have been used as a basis for an unknown number of papers. Subsequently, Bezdek et al. [4] discovered two different errors in the version of Iris available through the well-known University of California at Irvine (UCI) machine learning database. Reproduced below, from the preface of Bezdek et al. [4] is an account of the problems errors like this cause. The data: Most of the numerical examples (in [4]) use small data sets that may seem contrived to you—and some of them are. There is much to be said for the pedagogical value of using a few points in the plane when studying and illustrating properties of various models. On the other hand, there are certain risks too. Sometimes conclusions that are legitimate for small specialized data sets become invalid in the face of large numbers of samples, features and classes. And, of course, time and space complexity make their presence felt in very unpredictable ways as problem size grows.

  • What Does Urban Transformation Look Like? Findings from a Global Prize Competition
    sustainability Communication What Does Urban Transformation Look Like? Findings from a Global Prize Competition Anne Maassen * and Madeleine Galvin World Resources Institute, 10 G Street NE, Washington, DC 20002, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 June 2019; Accepted: 21 August 2019; Published: 27 August 2019 Abstract: Different disciplines are grappling with the concept of ‘urban transformation’ reflecting its planetary importance and urgency. A recent systematic review traces the emergence of a normative epistemic community that is concerned with helping make sustainable urban transformation a reality. Our contribution to this growing body of work springs out of a recent initiative at the World Resources Institute, namely, the WRI Ross Prize for Cities, a global award for transformative projects that have ignited sustainable changes in their city. In this paper we explain the competition-based approach that was used to source transformative initiatives and relate our findings to existing currents in urban transformation scholarship and key debates. We focus on one of the questions at the heart of the normative urban transformation agenda: what does urban transformation look like in practice? Based on an analysis of the five finalists, we describe urban transformation as encompassing a plurality of contextual and relative changes, which may progress and accelerate positively, or regress over time. An evaluative approach that considers varying ‘degrees’ and ‘types’ of urban transformation is proposed to establish meaning within single cases and across several cases of urban transformation. Keywords: urban; transformation; urbanization; research; interdisciplinary; transitions; systemic change 1. Introduction There has been a lively debate among urban scholars and practitioners about the potential and mechanisms of ‘urban transformation’.
