Malgré ses succès, il existe des défis associés à l'utilisation de la logique floue dans les systèmes d'IA [intelligence artificielle]. Un défi est la difficulté de concevoir et de régler des systèmes flous. Étant donné que la logique floue traite des informations imprécises, il peut être difficile de déterminer les fonctions d'appartenance et les règles floues appropriées pour un problème donné. De plus, les systèmes flous peuvent être coûteux en calcul, en particulier lorsqu'il s'agit de grands ensembles de données ou de processus complexes. 3, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20logique%20floue

As defined in the Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, cryonics is "the practice of freezing the body of a person who has just died in order to preserve it for possible resuscitation in the future, as when a cure for the disease that caused death has been found. "If future molecular-repair technology can repair damage caused by cryopreservation(including freezing-damage), cure all diseases and stop(and reverse) biological aging--then cryonics is the "first aid" which can preserve contemporary humans for future science.... Cryonics is to be distinguished from cryogenics, the physics of low temperature, and cryobiology, the science of low-temperature effects on biological systems. 2, record 9, English, - Cryonics%20Society%20of%20Canada

The Utopia Pavilion was one of the most noticed of the five theme pavilions at Portugal' s World Exhibition in Lisbon. For the first time at a World or Universal Exhibition, a show was staged for over 3 million spectators. It took co-author and artistic director François Confino three years during which he worked with American, Canadian, French and Portuguese staff to see this incredible challenge through. Soaring effects and gigantic special effects were specially designed, and extremely complex mechanical systems bred movement into flexible materials and stage sets at an unusually large scale. Through close collaboration with Philippe Genty, the director, Oceans & Utopias enticed the audience on a fascinating journey through mythology, conquest and the anguish of those at sea known to everyone faced with the boundlessness of the ocean. 1, record 11, English, - Utopia%20Pavilion

Parmi les cinq pavillons thématiques du Portugal de l'exposition mondiale de Lisbonne en 1998, le pavillon Utopia a été l'un des plus remarqués. Pour la première fois dans le cadre d'une exposition mondiale ou universelle, un spectacle a été donné à voir à plus de 3 millions de personnes. Dans un stade couvert construit pour l'occasion, 6 500 spectateurs en moyenne ont assisté 4 fois par jour, pendant 130 jours d'affilée, aux 520 représentations du spectacle. Sous la direction artistique de François Confino et de Philippe Genty, trois ans de travail avec des équipes américaines, canadiennes, françaises et portugaises ont été nécessaires pour mener à bien ce défi. Des effets d'envols et des effets spéciaux de grande envergure ont été spécifiquement développés pour ce spectacle tandis que des systèmes mécaniques très élaborés ont permis de mettre en mouvement à une échelle inhabituelle des matériaux souples et des éléments de décors. «Océans et Utopies» a entraîné les spectateurs dans un fascinant parcours onirique à travers les mythologies, les conquêtes et les angoisses aquatiques de ceux qui se sont confrontés aux étendues océanes. 1, record 11, French, - Pavillon%20de%20l%27Utopie
