Abstract
A fuzzy natural language communication system called the Fuzzy Lingual System (FLINS) is currently under development at the Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering Research (LIFE). The final goal of the FLINS project is to create a lingual computer, that is, a domain-independent teach, question, and answer (TQA) system. In this paper, we propose two new design concepts, text-based architecture and fuzzy-centered architecture, to realize our goal. Two experimental systems were built to determine the feasibility of those approaches before the development of FLINS. One is a text-based natural language understanding system, called the AB-System. The other is a fuzzy expert system called FOREX, which predicts exchange rate trends according to fuzzy rules and fuzzy data.
