INST RUCT IONS T O CANDIDAT ES :

1. Attempt any FIVE question(s), ea ch que stion c arrie s 12 marks.

1. With the help of suitable examples, explain the various types of crossover techniques used
in the genetic algorithm process.
2. State the importance of character recognition. Explain in detail how neural network
architecture can be used for the recognition of characters.
3. a) Justify the following statement: “Partial membership is allowed in fuzzy sets”.
b) Compare and contrast classical logic and fuzzy logic.
4. What are the main steps in developing a fuzzy logic system for the Antilock braking
system? What is the most laborious and tedious part in this process? Why?
5. Why are fuzzy systems particularly well suited for modeling human decision-making? Why
does fuzzy technology have great potential in such areas as business and finance?
6. Why are fuzzy systems and neural networks considered to be natural complementary tools
for building intelligent systems? Draw a neuro-fuzzy system corresponding to the Sugeno
fuzzy inference model for the implementation of the AND operation. Assume that the
system has two inputs and one output, and each of them is represented by two linguistic
values: small and large.
7. Discuss Swarm intelligence. Discuss various animal behavior which have been used as
examples.
8. a) Compare and Contrast: Artificial Neural Network and Biological Neural Networks.
b) State the implication of Bias in an artificial neural network.
