Understanding Soft Computing Concepts

Soft computing is an approach to build systems that are tolerant to imprecision and uncertainty. It aims to mimic human-like decision making using techniques like fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computation, and machine learning. Unlike hard computing which requires precise models, soft computing can handle real-world problems where ideal models do not exist. It is made up of fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, neural networks, and machine learning and can produce useful solutions to complex problems. Current applications of soft computing include handwriting recognition, automotive systems, image processing, and control systems.

What is Soft Computing?


The idea behind soft computing is to model
cognitive behavior of human mind.
Soft computing is foundation of conceptual
intelligence in machines.
Unlike hard computing , Soft computing is
tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth,
and approximation.

What is Hard Computing ?


Hard computing, i.e., conventional computing,
requires a precisely stated analytical model and
often a lot of computation time.
Many analytical models are valid for ideal cases.
Real world problems exist in a non-ideal
environment.

Hard Vs Soft Computing Paradigms


Hard computing
Based on the concept of precise modeling and analyzing
to yield accurate results.
Works well for simple problems, but is bound by the NPComplete set.

Soft computing
Aims to surmount NP-complete problems.
Uses inexact methods to give useful but inexact answers
to intractable problems.
Represents a significant paradigm shift in the aims of
computing - a shift which reflects the human mind.
Tolerant to imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and
approximation.
Well suited for real world problems where ideal models
are not available.
