Lotfi Aliasker Zadeh was a mathematician,computer scientist,electrical engineer,artificial intelligence researcher,and professor of computer science at the University of California,Berkeley. Zadeh is best known for proposing fuzzy mathematics,consisting of several fuzzy-related concepts:fuzzy sets,fuzzy logic,fuzzy algorithms,fuzzy semantics,fuzzy languages,fuzzy control,fuzzy systems,fuzzy probabilities,fuzzy events,and fuzzy information. Zadeh was a founding member of the Eurasian Academy.
The expression computational intelligence (CI) usually refers to the ability of a computer to learn a specific task from data or experimental observation. Even though it is commonly considered a synonym of soft computing,there is still no commonly accepted definition of computational intelligence.

Soft computing is an umbrella term used to describe types of algorithms that produce approximate solutions to unsolvable high-level problems in computer science. Typically,traditional hard-computing algorithms heavily rely on concrete data and mathematical models to produce solutions to problems. Soft computing was coined in the late 20th century. During this period,revolutionary research in three fields greatly impacted soft computing. Fuzzy logic is a computational paradigm that entertains the uncertainties in data by using levels of truth rather than rigid 0s and 1s in binary. Next,neural networks which are computational models influenced by human brain functions. Finally,evolutionary computation is a term to describe groups of algorithm that mimic natural processes such as evolution and natural selection.
