Basic structure of three-layered fuzzy inference in FLINS-fuzzylingual system

摘要

The Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering Research (LIFE)in Japan is developing a natural language communication system calledFLINS, which is short for fuzzy lingual system. The final goal of theproject is to implement a lingual computer that can communicate andlearn, both by being taught and on it own, through use of a fuzzynatural language. In this paper, the goal of FLINS is briefly presented.Next, the problems and limitations of conventional systems aresummarized, and new design concepts, text-based architecture andfuzzy-centered architecture, to overcome those problems and limitationsare proposed. Finally, the structure of the three-layered fuzzyinference mechanism, which is one of the most important features ofFLINS, is described
