Computing with Words
Computing with words is a mathematical model that processes linguistic information, as words and phrases, instead of numbers for computation and reasoning, thus making computing more human-oriented. It is based on fuzzy logic and allows computers to process vague, imprecise information to solve problems that are difficult to quantify.
Following demo-driven research, the idea of this design studio is to introduce students into computing with words. Over the course of the semester, the demo-driven research methods let the students to develop and test prototypes. Using fuzzy logic, its process enables (a pair of) students to convert natural language into a fuzzy representation, to perform computations on that representation and then, to convert the result back into a human-understandable words and phrases.
At the kick-off meeting, a prototyping case will be introduced, which the teams will work on. The prototypes will be implemented by the group using an extended Raspberry Pi set (50% of the grade). The remaining 50% of the grade will be divided between exercises (25%) and an oral exam (25%). Note that a maximum of 10 students can register. Email the course instructors for registration; first come, first served.
