Adding Real Coefficients to Łukasiewicz Logic: An Application to Neural Networks

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 8256))

Abstract

In this paper we shall deal with an extension of Łukasiewicz propositional logic obtained by considering scalar multiplication with real numbers, and we focus on the description of its Lindenbaum algebra, i.e., the algebra of truth functions. We show the correspondence between truth tables of such logic and multilayer perceptrons in which the activation function is the truncated identity.
