3. Uncertainties in Intelligent Systems 4 Dealing with uncertain and imprecise information has been one of the major issues in almost all intelligent system –Decision making systems, diagnostic systems, intelligent agent systems, planning systems, data mining, etc 4 Various approaches to cope with uncertain, imprecise, vague, and even inconsistent information –Bayesian and probabilistic methods, belief networks, softcomputing, etc 4 Softcomputing –Neural networks, fuzzy theory, approximate reasoning, derivative-free optimization methods (GA), etc –Synergy allows SC to incorporate human knowledge effectively, deal with imprecision and uncertainty, and learn to adapt to unknown or changing environments for better performance  intelligent systems to mimic human intelligence in thinking, learning, reasoning, etc
