	Keeping An Eye On The Scientists: Bart Kosko's "Fuzzy Thinking" Tries To Save Logical Positivism - Paul Rezendes - The ...
		Kosko wants to treat the application to the world of quantified concepts described in a mathematical model as being a matter of fact that is subject to non-bivalence: "hot," the class of temperatures between 60 and 100 degrees, may be truly predicated of temperatures in that range, but only to some measured degree.
		Kosko's purpose in citing the sorites paradox was to demonstrate "A and not-A." The uncertainty we feel in the "middle position" between clear cases on the continuum, however, does not show that A and not-A. It might be that at that point neither A nor not-A, or it might mean something else.
		Kosko himself admits the distinction between "A" and "not-A" on the one hand and the things which are both "A" and "not-A" when he rejects the possibility of nothingness because of the collapse of the bipolar continuum of truth resulting when one tries to measure the fuzzy entropy of nothingness.

	Conversation for Exploration - Bart Kosko (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Kosko is the leading proponent of "fuzzy logic," the most explosive new concept in science since chaos theory.
		Kosko will argue that fuzzy thinking is transforming not just the computer world, but our world, and will shape every aspect of life from politics and genetics to warfare, technology, even mortality.
		Kosko is the author of "The Fuzzy Future: From Society and Science to Heaven in a Chip."

	To see the message, just add noise
		Kosko, who earlier published a theorem setting forth the mathematical basis for the phenomenon, says that the experiments made with the novel carbon nanotube detectors reported in the new paper confirm his predictions.
		Kosko has been studying stochastic resonant effects -- how noise can in some circumstances bring out otherwise hidden patterns -- for years, building on work done for the most part in biology.
		Kosko believes that increased awareness of the stochastic resonance phenomenon can aid designers of communications, including especially modern spread-spectrum devices, which often rely on an array of faint signals.

	ERCB: DDJ Programmer's Bookshelf November 1993
		Kosko debunks the myth of what he calls "bivalence"--that a state is either A or not-A. While much of our work with computers assumes a bivalence model, a moment's reflection reveals that it's clearly a poor approximation of the world.
		Kosko might argue that the on/off bivalence is due to a lack of detail in the control system (and he's probably right) but we may not need to control down to that level of detail.
		Kosko's view of the world is valid to a point, and useful for those of us who, in our daily work, simplify problems down to the bivalent "A or not-A" paradigm.

	Fuzzy Future by Bart Kosko
		Kosko writes that in digital age "more precise "facts" have not made it easier to draw a line that decides whether a fetus is alive or whether a share of stcok is a good buy or whether crashing a country's banking software is an act of war".
		Kosko sees irony in that things are fuzzier than ever in our digital age.
		Kosko thinks that our focus is shifting from the old world of atoms to the new world of bits and chip brain.

	Tiny nanotube antennas may yield better signals in cell phones, televisions
		Kosko set out to show that the theory was applicable at the nano scale.
		Under controlled laboratory conditions, Kosko's graduate student, Ian Lee, generated a sequence of faint electrical signals ranging from weak to strong.
		In a more futuristic application, Kosko believes the tubes have the potential to act as artificial nerve cells, which could help enhance sensation and movement to damaged nerves and limbs.

	Book review of Bart Kosko (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Kosko presents neural networks as stochastic gradient systems and fuzzy sets as points in unit hypercubes.
		It is shawn that neural computations is similar to statistics in that its goal is to approximate the function that relates a set of inputs to a set of outputs.
		In Kosko's formalization, a fuzzy set is a point in the unitary hypercube equivalent to Zadeh's universe of discourse, and a non-fuzzy set is one of the vertexes of such a cube.

		Kosko believes these hard lines are beginning to break down as Fuzzy designed technology enters into the picture.
		Kosko believes that as fuzzy technology accelerates, it will have a profound effect on our thinking in everything from our political system, down to our very social fabric which historically has relied upon a binary, hard lined type of logic.
		Ultimately, Kosko believes nanocomputer chips may one day be placed within the human brain to accelerate and enhance its functions.

	Fuzzy Thinking - Bart Kosko - Review - This statement is false
		However Kosko is more than interested in applications of fuzzy logic, he also goes into great detail on the philosophical and historial aspects to his subject.
		In fact it is Kosko's over-powering ego (nothing fuzzy on the front, I can assure you), that is the most irritating aspect of the book.
		The book is widely discursive, and it even allows Kosko to ruminate on such topics as near death experiences, Zen Buddhism, the nature of God and alternative ways of looking at political issues.

	Gettingit.com: The Fuzzy Revolution
		The Fuzzy Future is part bog-standard libertarianism (with a side of Reaganomics), part extropian hooting-and-hollering, part small boy reveling in the Tolstoy and Clancy school of military exchange, and part Rube Goldberg engineering of unlikely theory, all bound up in 100 pages of inscrutable equations in the footnotes.
		But in person, Kosko's a very physical guy who towers over you and shakes your hand like a man who used to design cruise missiles.

	Standing in the Line of Fire
		Kosko teamed with noted medical researcher W. French Anderson, director of the Keck School of Medicine of USC’s Gene Therapy Laboratories, and Ph.D. student Ian Lee of the USC Viterbi School on the paper “Fuzzy Modeling of Gunshot Bruises in Soft Body Armor.”
		Bart is an original thinker, and his ‘fuzzy logic’ sounded perfect for this task,” Anderson said.
		While a.45 carries the impact of a major league fastball in the ribs, a.22 is equivalent to a hit with a ball going 40 mph, the researchers found.

		Bart Kosko, as the jacket copy says, is an original.
		Kosko went to school to learn, and finally to teach, this approach, which to me, seems basically the art of knowing when enough is enough.
		Kosko has been regularly roasted by the academics, despite the fact that fuzzy thinking works, and over1000 patents have been deposed for real-life applications of fuzzy logic for successful Japanese products.

	Fuzzy, Inc (Richard Gehr)
		Dubbed the "St. Paul" of fuzziness by a Los Angeles Times writer, Fuzzy Thinking author Bart Kosko is a 33-year-old assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Southern California and a disciple of Lotfi Zadeh, who introduced the notion of FUZZY SETS in a 1965 paper drawing upon the work of Max Black.
		Allowing Kosko to role-play the upstart paradigm shifter and go out on his technoporn limb, they emphasize fuzziness's inherent simplicity, concluding that fuzz "seems unusually well-suited for American firms, especially those facing a shortage of capital and a decline in consumer confidence compared to their Japanese rivals" (282).
		And the apparent dispassion and dry-ice business acumen with which that end was attained would make Bart Kosko's zazen revery wither in the void.

		Kosko defines the concept bad weather to be the only system input, although all other concepts necessarily have biases that depend on many factors not included in the model.
		Kosko also covers FCMs in both of his books, Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems for technical readers and Fuzzy Thinking for nontechnical readers.
		Kosko suggests that the structure of an FCM lends itself well to representing an expert's opinion.

		Kosko deduces from the presence of the divergence operator in the information field equations that fuzzy computations can be thought of as information fluid calculations.
		In fairness to the other contributors, Kosko should have been listed as the editor, rather than implied to be the sole author.
		Kosko is best suited to the fuzzy-logic practitioner, or to a graduate student following the Kosko curriculum: This is not a starter book.

	gustavolacerda: most bell curves have thick tails (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		I think my objection is that the use of the word "most" implicitly involves Kosko's notion of which distributions count for more.
		So I would claim that the burden is really on the other side of the argument from me, that Kosko should make his assertion more clear before I'm expected to believe it.
		It sounds like Kosko has a bunch of such examples in mind, and thinks that they are widespread, but for space reasons hasn't listed any in particular; I might still quibble after they were given about how centrally important they are, but really I am curious what these cases look like.

		I first came across fuzzy cognitive maps when I read the book Fuzzy Thinking by Bart Kosko (Flamingo, 1994).
		Bart Kosko seems to be very enthusiastic about the future of fuzzy cognitive maps and how they can be used to analyse systems that are otherwise difficult to comprehend due to the complex relationships between their components.
		I thought that fuzzy cognitive maps are a very interesting idea that may have some potential.
