Granular computing for data mining
Yiyu Y. Yao · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2006
Granular computing, as an emerging research field, provides a conceptual framework for studying many issues in data mining. This paper examines some of those issues, including data and knowledge representation and processing. It is demonstrated that one of the fundamental tasks of data mining is searching for the right level of granularity in data and knowledge representation.
