Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks

By Prof. Dilip Kumar Pratihar   |   IIT Kharagpur
Learners enrolled: 3305
This course will start with a brief introduction to fuzzy sets. The differences between fuzzy sets and crisp sets will be identified. Various terms used in the fuzzy sets and the grammar of fuzzy sets will be discussed, in detail, with the help of some numerical examples. The working principles of two most popular applications of fuzzy sets, namely fuzzy reasoning and fuzzy clustering will be explained, and numerical examples will be solved. Fundamentals of neural networks and various learning methods will then be discussed. The principles of multi-layer feed  forward neural network, radial basis function network, self-organizing map, counter-propagation neural network, recurrent neural network, deep learning neural network will be explained with appropriate numerical examples. The method of evolving optimized fuzzy reasoning tools, neural networks will be discussed with the help of some numerical examples. Two popular neuro-fuzzy systems will be explained and numerical examples will be solved. A summary of the course will be given at the end.

Instructor bio

Prof. Dilip Kumar Pratihar

IIT Kharagpur
I received BE (Hons.) and M. Tech. from REC (NIT) Durgapur, India, in 1988 and 1994, respectively. I obtained my Ph.D. from IIT Kanpur, India in 2000. I received University Gold Medal, A.M. Das Memorial Medal, Institution of Engineers’ (I) Medal, and others. I completed my post-doctoral studies in Japan and then, in Germany under the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship Programme. I am working now as a Professor (HAG scale) of IIT Kharagpur,India. My research areas include robotics, soft computing and manufacturing science. I have published more than 240 papers, mostly in various international journals. I have written a textbook on “Soft Computing”, co-authored another textbook on “Analytical Engineering Mechanics”, edited a book on “Intelligent and Autonomous Systems”, co-authored reference books on “Modeling and Analysis of Six-legged Robots”, “Modeling and Simulations of Robotic Systems Using Soft Computing” and “Modeling and Analysis of Laser Metal Forming Processes by Finite Element and Soft Computing Methods”. Recently, I have published another textbook named “Fundamentals of Robotics”. My text book on “Soft Computing” had been translated into Chinese language in 2009. I have guided 18 Ph.D.s. I am in editorial board of 14 International Journals. I have been elected as FIE, MASME and SMIEEE. I have completed a few sponsored(funded by DST, DAE, MHRD) and consultancy projects.
