Abstract:
In this paper,we present our opinions on fuzzy logic from the viewpoint of machine intelligence. Firstly,we analyze characteristics
of fuzzy logic that are adapted to the study of machine intelligence. Secondly, we present our opinions on machine intelligence, i.e.,
(1) machine intelligence requires uncertain reasoning with linguistic expressions, (2) study uncertain reasoning based on logic is one
of scientific methodologies, (3) machine intelligence demands uncertain reasoning with linguistic information under the guidance of
logic, (4) machine intelligence also requires automated reasoning with linguistic information based on logic. Finally, we introduce
our work on uncertain and automated reasoning in the framework of lattice-valued logic based on lattice implication algebra, and
discuss some further goals.
