Abstract :
The Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering Research (LIFE) in Japan is developing a natural language communication system called FLINS, which is short for fuzzy lingual system. The final goal of the project is to implement a lingual computer that can communicate and learn, both by being taught and on it own, through use of a fuzzy natural language. In this paper, the goal of FLINS is briefly presented. Next, the problems and limitations of conventional systems are summarized, and new design concepts, text-based architecture and fuzzy-centered architecture, to overcome those problems and limitations are proposed. Finally, the structure of the three-layered fuzzy inference mechanism, which is one of the most important features of FLINS, is described
