Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems

Abstract

Fuzzy logic is a powerful interface between linguistic and numerical spaces. It allows the design of transparent models based upon linguistic rules. The FisPro open source software includes learning algorithms as well as a friendly java interface. In this paper, it is used to model a composite agronomical feature, the vine vigor. The system behavior is characterized by its numerical accuracy and analyzed according to the induced knowledge. Well known input output relationships are identified, but also some rules reflect local interactions.
