انتقال دانش در مدل سازی سیستم و تحقق آن از طریق تخصیص بهینه کل اطلاعات

In the study on knowledge transfer and reusability, information granularity is viewed as an important design asset and as such it is subject to optimization. We formulate an optimal information granularity allocation problem: assuming a certain level of granularity, distribute it optimally among the parameters of the model (making them granular) so that a certain data coverage criterion is maximized. While the underlying concept is general and applicable to a variety of models, in this study, we discuss its use to fuzzy neural networks with intent to clearly visualize the advantages of the approach and emphasize various ways of forming granular versions of the weights (parameters) of the connections of the network. Several granularity allocation protocols (ranging from a uniform distribution of granularity, symmetric and asymmetric schemes of allocation) are discussed and the effectiveness of each of them is quantified. The use of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) as the underlying optimization tool to realize optimal granularity allocation is discussed.
