An approach to everyday language computing—An application to forecast of atmospheric pressure distribution

This paper discusses an application of the idea of everyday language computing (Kobayashi and Sugeno, Proc. 12th Fuzzy Syst. Symp., 1996, pp. 63–66; Kobayashi and Sugeno, Proc. Breakthrough Opportunities for Fuzzy Logic, 1996, pp. 89–94), and explains that the organization of human intelligence takes the same form as that of the linguistic system. We introduce fuzziness into describing knowledge so that it becomes flexible and appropriate for the changing situations. As an example, we apply our method to the forecast of atmospheric pressure distribution (FAPD). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
