Fuzzy Rule base…
While I’m trying to avoid playing weewar I’ve been attempting to work the last two challenges of my research - agent negotitation over groups and a small fuzzy system to calculate the groupings (plus a search method to compare against).
It seems like each of these things is quite a difficult thing to master as there is lots of research pulling the methodology in both directions - particuarly the negotitation. Should it be voting based or persuasion based - I’m leaning towards persuasion.
I’ve also put up my second paper that’s been accepted in the proceedings of IE07 - it deals with another part of my research! I’m pretty sure that my brain will explode before I finish but I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere! Whoever said that doing a PhD was more an endurance task than a quest for knowledge was 100% correct! And to Vicky I say - be ready for the long slog…
Good Hunting
I think the negotiation should be voting based - if you do it the other way then you are leaving yourself open to counter-rabbits and pervasive occular queries. When it comes to fuzzy based systems, I always find that a lint brush is the only answer.
and clunk on the stuffer expanders…
My major downfall is having my sources mostly internet based, so it is far too tempting to browse the internet.
Weewar seems to have taken all computer scientists this week - I know jon and simon are hooked, and jon wants me to join in - like I need anymore distractions!
