One of the lasting impacts of his leadership in this role is the expansion and the integration of computer science. He initiated and completed (in 1968) the transformation of the Electrical Engineering department at UC Berkeley to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). This strategic move not only led UC Berkeley's advancement into the top ranks of computer science education and research, but also led other research universities globally to add computer science to their electrical engineering departments. </p><p>In 1973, Zadeh received the prestigious (Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers) IEEE Education Award, largely in recognition of his performance as chair of EE and then EECS. Other important services to UC Berkeley include his Academic Senate committee memberships: Academic Planning & Resource Allocation (1992–95); Committees (1969–70; 1980–81); Courses of Instruction (1975–80); and Faculty Awards (1990–92).

Fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic are both motivated by our understanding of human cognition: that we are comfortable with concepts that have vague boundaries. This is well aligned with the <a href="/wiki/Physical_symbol_system" title="Physical symbol system">Physical symbol system</a> assumption in AI (by <a href="/wiki/Allen_Newell" title="Allen Newell">Allen Newell</a> and <a href="/wiki/Herbert_A._Simon" title="Herbert A. Simon">Herbert A. Simon</a>), inspired by another aspect of human cognition: that humans are comfortable with concepts that are described by symbols. </p><p>The concept of a linguistic variable in fuzzy logic connects a symbol that is typically a predicate in classical logic (e.g., "John is Bold", or in <a href="/wiki/Predicate_logic" class="mw-redirect" title="Predicate logic">predicate logic</a> – Bold(John)) – to linguistic values (e.g., "John is somewhat bold." or in fuzzy logic – Bold(John)=Somewhat ) – which generalizes the binary value of predicate logic in two ways. First, the two possible values (True or False) in predicate logic are generalized to a continuum (typically from 0, which corresponds to False, to 1, which corresponds to True). This allows the expression of Bold(John)= 0.5, which indicates that John is midway between being devoid of boldness and being entirely bold. </p><p>The second generalization enabled by fuzzy logic is to use a fuzzy set such as "somewhat bold" to describe a person's boldness level in a way that is more natural to human understanding and communication. Without this generalization, we can only describe the value of a person's boldness as a number (e.g., 0.5) or as an interval (e.g., [0.25, 0.75]). With this generalization, one can express the semantic meaning of "somewhat bold" as a fuzzy set in the domain of 0 and 1. </p><p>Zadeh was also an active contributor to the AI community, including at the <a href="/wiki/Dartmouth_Workshop" class="mw-redirect" title="Dartmouth Workshop">Dartmouth Workshop</a> that coined the term "artificial intelligence". He was subsequently a frequent contributor to leading AI conferences such as AAAI and IJCAI, as well as other top venues such as AI Magazine. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_contributions">Other contributions</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lotfi_A._Zadeh&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Other contributions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Zadeh is credited, along with <a href="/wiki/John_R._Ragazzini" title="John R.

Zadeh touched many lives and had a tremendous impact on many scientific and technological fields. He is best known as the founder of fuzzy mathematics, fuzzy set theory, fuzzy logic, Z numbers and Z-transform. He won many awards including the IEEE Medal of Honor, the Honda Prize, the Okawa Prize, and the IEEE Hamming Medal. He was a founding member of the Eurasian Academy and a member of the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame.
