ANN - Fuzzy Logic GA - Tutorial
1. Define Fuzzy Logic. How does it differ from classical or binary logic?
2. Explain the concept of a membership function in Fuzzy Logic.
3. Describe the difference between a crisp set and a fuzzy set. Provide examples.
4. What is the significance of the universe of discourse in fuzzy sets?
5. Given two fuzzy sets A and B defined over the universe of discourse X:
A = {0.3/x1, 0.5/x2, 1/x3, 0.7/x4}
B = {0.5/x1, 0.4/x2, 0.2/x3, 1/x4}
Find:
(a) The union of A and B.
(b) The intersection of A and B.
(c) The complement of A.
6. Given a fuzzy set A defined over the universe of discourse X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} with the following
membership values: A= {0.1/1,0.5/2,0.8/3,0.4/4,0.2/5}. Compute the 0.5-cut and 0.7-cut of A.
Performance:
(a) Poor: 0-40
(b) Average: 30-70
(c) Good: 60-100
(Note: The numbers represent the range of the trapezoidal or triangular membership function for
simplicity.)
Rules:
(a) If (Attendance is Low) OR (Assignment Score is Low) THEN (Performance is Poor)
(b) If (Attendance is Medium) AND (Assignment Score is Medium) THEN (Performance is
Average)
(c) If (Attendance is High) AND (Assignment Score is High) THEN (Performance is Good)
(i) Given a student with Attendance = 60% and Assignment Score = 75, compute the student's fuzzy
performance using the Mamdani inference method.
(ii) Defuzzify the output using the centroid method to get a crisp performance score.
(iii) Based on the crisp performance score, categorize the student's performance as "Poor", "Average",
or "Good".
Genetic Algorithm Tutorial Questions
1. Define a Genetic Algorithm. What are its main components?
2. How does a Genetic Algorithm mimic the process of natural selection?
3. Explain the significance of the following in a Genetic Algorithm:

performance of a GA?
14. Define multiobjective optimization. How does it differ from single-objective optimization?
15. What is a Pareto front? Explain its significance in multiobjective optimization.
16. Describe the concept of "niching" in evolutionary algorithms. Why is it essential for multimodal
optimization?
17. Use a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to find the maximum value of the function f(x) = x^2+3x-4 over the
integer range [0, 31]. Represent the solutions using binary chromosomes.
