Granularity
This paper presents a framework for a theory of granularity, which is seen as a means of constructing simple theories out of more complex ones. A transitive indistinguishability relation can be defined by means of a set of relevant predicates, allowing simplification of a theory of complex phenomena into computationally tractable local theories, or granularities. Nontransitive indistinguishabil...
متن کاملBiomedical Informatics and Granularity
An explicit formal-ontological representation of entities existing at multiple levels of granularity is an urgent requirement for biomedical information processing. We discuss some fundamental principles which can form a basis for such a representation. We also comment on some of the implicit treatments of granularity in currently available ontologies and terminologies (GO, FMA, SNOMED CT).
متن کاملFunctional Granularity
The method presented in this paper aims to reduce the computational costs of some kinds of navigation in a world with obstacles. We give algorithms to capture the logical structure of an object given a polygonal representation of it. Then these algorithms are used in conjunction with the notion of functional granularity to handle navigation of a moving object. 1 Framework The class of problems ...
متن کاملQuery Efficiency of Polygon Objects Based On the Tile Granularity of Quad-Tree
Quad-tree index has been widely used in geo-spatial database management and GIS. Yet, how to determine a suitable index depth of quad-tree for an optimal query in terms of query speed remains a difficult task. Bearing this task in mind, the authors analyze the close correlation between the index depth and the index range. The query efficiency of quad-tree is introduced as a quantitative measure...
متن کاملKnowledge Granularity and Action Selection
In this paper we introduce the concept of knowledge granularity and study its in uence on an agent's action selection process. Action selection is critical to an agent performing a task in a dynamic, unpredictable environment. Knowledge representation is central to the agent's action selection process. It is important to study what kind of knowledge the agent should represent and the preferred ...
