INTRODUCTION

BIOGRAPHY OF THE PRESENTER

Neural network and fuzzy logic are two main fields in

artificial intelligence to simulate human intelligence in
machine. Neural network is a computational and
engineering methodology based on emulating how
nature has implemented biological brain (in particular,
the brain's massively parallel and learning aspects). As
such, it holds promise for significant impact on how
important classes of scientific and engineering
problems are solved. Neural networks are an
adaptable system that approximates the operation of
the human brain and the central nervous system.

MR. TAN WOOI HEONG graduated with a First Class

Degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from
Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne
Australia in 1999. Upon his graduation, he was engaged
in the sales and technical application engineer and
subsequently as a manager looking into customers
need on sales, technical and application requirement of
MATLAB and Simulnk for more than 8 years.
He was also involved in application training for customer
too. Realizing that technical training and application
consultation are ever needed, he is now a Technical
Consultant with Trity Technologies in providing technical
and consultation services with SCILAB, open source
software for numerical computation. Wooi Heong also
conducts training on fundamentals of SCILAB, Image
Processing and Artificial Intelligence.

A neural network usually involves a large number of

processors operating in parallel, each with its own
small sphere of knowledge and access to data in its
local memory. Neural Networks can learn from noisy
data and generalize on unseen data to provide a very
powerful machine learning paradigm.
Fuzzy logic is a form of multiple-valued logic which
deals with reasoning that is approximate rather than
fixed and exact. It represent the human brain better
Compared to binary sets (where variables may wither
true or false. Fuzzy logic variables may have a value
that ranges in degree between 0 and 1. Fuzzy logic
has been extended to handle the concept of partial
truth, where the truth value may range between
completely true and completely false.
Current applications of neural networks and fuzzy logic
include: oil exploration data analysis, weather
prediction, pattern recognition, the interpretation of
nucleotide sequences in biology labs, the exploration
of models of thinking and consciousness in addition to
many other applications.

MR. TAN CHIN LUH received his First Class Honour

Degree in Electrical Engineering from Universiti
Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), majoring in Control
Engineering, and his Master Degree in Computer and
Communication
Engineering
from
Universiti
Putra Malaysia (UPM). With extensive experience and
knowledge makes him an exceptional technical member
in real-time embedded control, data acquisition system,
speech recognition system, image processing and
automation system. He has completed several projects
for industry players (Agilent, Avago, and TNB) in the
field of image processing & analysis for camera quality
measurement, speech recognition using neural network,
and real-time control implementation using high-level
programming approach. He was also successfully
developed control based course information for the
teaching of control subjects incorporating technical
software and laboratory equipment hardware. Chin Luh
is the author/developer for the SCILAB module for
Artificial Intelligence.

COURSE METHODOLOGY
This is a hands-on application course that provides
step-by-step description while concentrating on useful
tips and tricks to construct Neural Network and fuzzy
inference system, fundamentals and its applications.
