Speech Title: Granular-ball computing: an adaptive, efficient, robust, interpretable method for multi-granularity representation and intelligent computing

Abstract: The method of multi-granularity granular-ball computing is proposed based on the theory of multi-granularity cognitive computing. The theory uses granular-balls of different sizes to cover data samples, and simulates the "large-scale first" human brain cognitive mechanism based on the generation method from coarse to fine. It can adaptively and efficiently realize the multi-granularity representation of data, and form an efficient, robust and interpretable multi-granularity computing mode. This report introduces the relevant research results and the latest progress of multi-granularity granular-ball computing theory, mainly including: the granular-ball classifier and granular-ball fuzzy set realize efficient and robust classification method and fuzzy calculation of non-point input respectively; the granular-ball clustering improves the efficiency and robustness of existing major clustering methods; the granular-ball rough set unifies the classic and neighborhood rough set models, and establishes a conceptual knowledge representation, realizes the equivalent class knowledge representation of the upper and lower approximations of the neighborhood rough set, and improves the learning accuracy; the granular-ball neural network first establishes has established an inherently explainable, anti-attack, and high-precision lightweight neural network learning model; granular-ball evolution computing can achieve better optimization accuracy and convergence speed, etc.
