This book includes a selection of twelve carefully revised papers chosen from the papers accepted for presentation at the 4th IEEE/Nagoya-University World Wisepersons Workshop held in Nagoya in November 1995. The combining of the technologies of fuzzy logic, neural networks, and evolutionary computation is expected to open up a new paradigm of machine learning for the realization of human-like information generating systems. The excellent papers presented are organized in sections on fuzzy and evolutionary computation, fuzzy and learning automata, fuzzy and neural networks, genetic algorithms, and CAM-brain.
