Information Synthesis in Multi-Granular Computing

Abstract

Humans usually learn things starting from local fragments, and gradually integrating them to form a global picture. On viewing an object from different abstraction levels, or different angles, they integrate the fragmentary and one-sided observations into systematic and overall understanding. This process is called information synthesis. Thus, information synthesis is the integration of information from different grain-size worlds. This is also one of the main issues in multi-granular computing. We present a mathematically synthetic model and use the model to deal with the synthesis of domains, topological structures, semi-order structures, and attribute functions respectively. ...
