Dr. Yiyu Yao, Professor
Department of Computer Science, University of Regina, CanadaSpeech Title: Thinking Clearly with Three-Way Decision
Abstract: A theory of three-way decision concerns thinking, problem solving, and computing in threes. Learning and practicing three-way decision enable us to think clearly and structurally. In this talk, I will demonstrate the superior power, the huge value, and the big benefits of three-way decision for clear thinking. The three parts of the talk are (1) the basics and main results of three-way decision, (2) trilevel thinking based on the concept of Symbols-Meaning-Value (SMV) spaces, and (3) three-way computing in fuzzy systems and data mining
Biography: Yiyu Yao is a professor of computer science with the Department of Computer Science, University of Regina, Canada. His research interests include three-way decision, granular computing, Web intelligence, rough sets, fuzzy sets, interval sets, formal concept analysis, information retrieval, machine learning, and data mining. He proposed a theory of three-way decision, a decision-theoretic rough set model, and a triarchic theory of granular computing. He has published over 400 papers. He was selected as a highly cited researcher by Clarivate from 2015 to 2019. He is the President of Web Intelligence Academy.
