Soft computing is a powerful approach to artificial intelligence that enables intelligent systems to handle uncertainty, imprecision, and complexity through techniques such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computing, and probabilistic reasoning. Unlike traditional models, soft computing leverages approximation, learning, and optimization for adaptive decision-making, making it essential in fields like healthcare, finance, robotics, and cloud computing. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice by providing a structured exploration of fundamental concepts, hybrid techniques, and real-world applications. It caters to researchers, students, and industry professionals by offering insights into emerging trends and future advancements in intelligent systems. By integrating soft computing with deep learning and probabilistic models, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for developing next-generation AI-driven adaptive systems.
