Three-layered fuzzy inference and self-wondering mechanism as natural language processing engine of FLINS

Abstract

We are developing a natural language communication system called FLINS, which is short for Fuzzy Lingual System. The final goal of the project is to implement a lingual computer that can communicate and learn, both by being taught and on it own, through use of a fuzzy natural language. New design concepts, text-based architecture and fuzzy-centered architecture, to overcome the problems and limitations of the conventional systems are proposed. Next the problem solving by the three-layered fuzzy inference, and the meta-inference by the combination of the three-layered fuzzy inference and the self-wondering mechanism are described as the natural language processing engine of FLINS.<>
