Concept illustration of Soft computing

Soft computing is a collection of artificial intelligence-based computational techniques.[1]

History

The theory and techniques related to Soft computing were first introduced in 1980s.[2] But, the term "Soft computing" was coined by Lotfi A. Zadeh in 1992.[1] It combines the fundamentals of neural network, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithm which, in turn, offers the superiority of humanlike problem solving capabilities.[3]
