"This book contains a compendium of key terms, definitions and explanations of concepts, processes and acronyms, and comprehensive references on existing literature and research on Soft Computing and Nature-inspired Computing. This book explores the basic constituents of soft computing: fuzzy logic, neural computing, evolutionary computation, and machine learning"--
Computer and information scientists and electrical engineers review recent developments in soft computing, a collection of imprecision-tolerant techniques that can deal with uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation. Their topics include parameter settings in particle swarm optimization, speaker recognition with normal and telephonic Assamese speech using i-vector and a learning-based classifier, the automatic generation control of multi-area interconnected power systems using a hybrid evolutionary algorithm, an intelligent expert system to optimize the quartz crystal microbalance characterization test, and a survey of the cuckoo search and its applications in real-world optimization problems.
