Three-way decision and granular computing
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Based on results from cognitive science, this paper examines the two fields of three-way decision and granular computing, as well as their interplay. The ideas from one field shed new light on the other field. The integration of the two gives rise to three-way granular computing, that is, thinking, problem solving, and information processing in threes. We discuss a wide sense of three-way decision and propose a trisecting–acting–outcome (TAO) model. We explain fundamental notions of granular computing based on the philosophy of three-way decision as thinking in threes. We discuss a model of three-way granular computing by making use of two particular types of granular structures represented, respectively, by three granules and three levels. We use examples across different disciplines to demonstrate the values of the two types. Our investigation suggests that, in many situations, the power of granular computing is indeed the power of three-way decision, i.e., thinking in threes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
