A Review of Soft Computing Based on Deep Learning

A review of deep learning based soft computing techniques in several applications is presented. On one hand, soft computing, defined as a group of methodologies, is an important element for constructing a new generation of computational intelligent system and has gained great success in solving practical computing problems. On the other hand, deep learning has become one of the most promising techniques in artificial intelligence in the past decade. Since soft computing is an evolving collection of methodologies, by presenting the latest research results of soft computing based on deep learning, this review not only reveals a promising direction for soft computing by incorporating deep learning, but also gives some suggestions for improving the performance of deep learning with soft computing techniques.
