Information granules play a pivotal role in acquiring, representing,processing, and communicating knowledge at a suitable level of abstraction.Designing information granules is paramount importance to all pursuits ofGranular Computing.
讲座摘要：This presentation offers a comprehensive and systematicallystructured overview of methodologies and algorithms of designing information granulesalong with a suite of representative applications in data analysis anddecision-making. The taxonomy embraces two main categories of data-driven andknowledge-oriented approaches. We introduce and discuss a principle ofjustifiable granularity, which serves as a key design vehicle facilitating aformation of information granules completed on a basis of availableexperimental evidence. Recent advancesof the principle are discussed including (i) a collaborative version of theprinciple supporting data analysis carried out in the presence of distributeddata, (ii) context-based version of the principle incorporating auxiliarysources of knowledge, and (iii) its hierarchical version facilitating handlingexperimental evidence being available at several levels of specificity(abstraction). A collection of design scenarios supporting a formation ofhierarchies of information granules of higher type and higher order ispresented.
In the realm of data analysis, we discuss a collaborative mode ofdiscovery of relationships through constructing granular bi-directional andmulti-directional associative memories and stacked granular autoencoders.
