An Inference Network for Bidirectional Approximate Reasoning Based on an Equality Measure

등가 척도에 의한 영방향 근사추론과 추론명

An inference network is proposed as a tool for bidirectional approximate reasoning. The inference network can be designed directly from the given fuzzy data(knowledge). If a fuzzy input is given for the inference netwok, then the network renders a reasonable fuzzy output after performing approximate reasoning based on an equality measure. Conversely, due to the bidirectional structure, the network can yield its corresponding reasonable fuzzy input for a given fuzzy output. This property makes it possible to perform forward and backward reasoning in the knowledge base system.
