Erice School on Granular Computing
http://smirnov.usr.dsi.unimi.it/
Purpose of the Course
The aim of the school is to assess the theoretical and computational
tools at the basis of large families of algorithms for solving
problems of:
* feature extraction
* classification
* learning regression functions.
The theoretical perspective is to fill-up – at a given fuzziness
degree – the holes between observed points in a dimensional space. The
goal is to supply a unifying reading to the vast variety of approaches
and algorithms forming the tiles of a complex puzzle. The leading
thread goes with the amount of information we have to align the data
in a given order, ranging from a probabilistic framework in the best
case to a connectionist one when you are left strictly alone with
data. Relevant diversions will be connected to the tool you have for
representing and processing data, spanning from pure connectionist
paradigms to fully analytical frameworks, through various nuances of
fuzziness, roughness and intermediate milieus.
The school is devoted to graduate students and researchers with
different scientific background (including computer science,
physics, mathematics, biology, etc) who wish to learn the science of
processing experimental data.
