Expert systems

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is the field in which computers model or make available nonnumeric human-like intelligence. Neural networks, like expert systems, fuzzy logic, robotics, natural language processing, and machine vision, are parts of an overall technology umbrella known as artificial intelligence (AI). Most of these techniques are discussed in this section, while model based control (MBC), model free control (MFC), multivariable (MIMO) control, and statistical process control are also covered in other sections of this chapter.
