FUZZY LOGIC IN AI

Basics, Working Principles, Applications in Medical

 HISTOR
Y
• Foundations (1960s): Lotfi Zadeh, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley
• Applications in Control Systems (1980s): Fuzzy logic gained widespread attention and
acceptance in the 1980s, particularly in the field of control systems.
• Commercialization and Adoption (1990s): Fuzzy logic began to find practical applications
in consumer products during the 1990s.
• Further Applications (2000s and beyond): Fuzzy logic continued to find applications in
diverse fields, including robotics, image processing, pattern recognition, and decision
support systems.
 WHAT IS FUZZY
LOGIC
• Fuzzy logic is a mathematical framework that deals with reasoning and decision-making the
presence of uncertainty and imprecision
• Unlike classical or Boolean logic, which relies on binary values (true or false, 0 or 1), fuzzy
logic allows for the representation of partial truth values
• It provides a way to handle information that is not distinctly true or false, but rather exists on
a continuum between these two extremes.
• Fuzzy logic is employed in various applications, including control systems, decision-making
processes, artificial intelligence, image processing
 WORKING
PRINCIPLE
• Linguistic Variables and Terms: Defining the variables

• Fuzzy Sets: Graphical representation of our fuzzy set

• Fuzzy Rules: IF-THEN

• Aggregation: Combining fuzzy outputs, considering overlapping and conflicting

• Defuzzification: Mapping the fuzzy output into a complete value for practical action or
further processing
 EXAMPLE: AIR CONDITIONER
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• Linguistic Variables:
Input: Temperature
Output: Air Conditioner Power
• Linguistic Terms:
Temperature: Cold, Cool, Warm, Hot
Air Conditioner Power: Low, Medium, High
• Fuzzy Sets and Membership Functions:
Fuzzy sets for each linguistic term with membership functions that determine the degree of
membership in the set based on the temperature. For example, the membership function for the
"Cold" set might be high when the temperature is below a certain level.
• Fuzzy Rules:
IF the temperature is Cold THEN set the Air Conditioner Power to Low
IF the temperature is Cool THEN set the Air Conditioner Power to Medium
IF the temperature is Warm THEN set the Air Conditioner Power to High
IF the temperature is Hot THEN set the Air Conditioner Power to High
• Aggregation:
Combine the fuzzy outputs from all rules to obtain a comprehensive fuzzy output.
• Defuzzification:
Convert the fuzzy output into a crisp value. For example, use the centroid method to find the
center of mass of the aggregated fuzzy output.

 APPLICATIONS IN MEDICAL INDUSTRY
• Healthcare Robotics:
Fuzzy logic is used in healthcare robotics for tasks such as robotic surgery and patient care
assistance.
• Decision Support Systems:
Fuzzy logic contributes to decision support systems in healthcare, providing assistance to
medical professionals in making complex decisions.
• Drug Dosage Adjustment:
Fuzzy logic is employed in drug dosage adjustment systems to tailor medication doses based
on patient-specific characteristics, such as weight, age, and renal function.
• Patient Monitoring:
Fuzzy logic is used in patient monitoring systems to interpret physiological parameters and
assess the overall health status.
• Medical Imaging and Pattern Recognition:
Fuzzy logic is applied to medical imaging for image segmentation, feature extraction, and
pattern recognition.
• Treatment Planning:
Fuzzy logic assists in treatment planning by considering multiple factors and uncertainties.
