  2. Generalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalization

    Cartographic generalization is the process of selecting and representing information of a map in a way that adapts to the scale of the display medium of the map. In this way, every map has, to some extent, been generalized to match the criteria of display. This includes small cartographic scale maps, which cannot convey every detail of the real ...

  3. Generalization (learning) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalization_(learning)

    Generalization is the concept that humans, other animals, and artificial neural networks use past learning in present situations of learning if the conditions in the situations are regarded as similar. [1] The learner uses generalized patterns, principles, and other similarities between past experiences and novel experiences to more efficiently ...

  4. Information theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory

    e. Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The field was originally established by the works of Harry Nyquist and Ralph Hartley, in the 1920s, and Claude Shannon in the 1940s. [1] : vii The field, in applied mathematics, is at the intersection of probability theory ...

  5. Generalizability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalizability_theory

    Generalizability theory, or G theory, is a statistical framework for conceptualizing, investigating, and designing reliable observations. It is used to determine the reliability (i.e., reproducibility) of measurements under specific conditions. It is particularly useful for assessing the reliability of performance assessments.

  6. Fuzzy set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_set

    Definition. A fuzzy set is a pair (,) where is a set (often required to be non-empty) and : [,] a membership function. The reference set (sometimes denoted by or ) is called universe of discourse, and for each , the value () is called the grade of membership of in (,).

  7. General relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity

    Definition and basic properties. General relativity is a metric theory of gravitation. At its core are Einstein's equations, which describe the relation between the geometry of a four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold representing spacetime, and the energy–momentum contained in that spacetime. [46]

  8. Universal generalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_generalization

    Universal generalization / instantiation. Existential generalization / instantiation. In predicate logic, generalization (also universal generalization, universal introduction, [1] [2] [3] GEN, UG) is a valid inference rule. It states that if has been derived, then can be derived.

  9. Universal law of generalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Universal_law_of_generalization

    The universal law of generalization is a theory of cognition stating that the probability of a response to one stimulus being generalized to another is a function of the “distance” between the two stimuli in a psychological space. It was introduced in 1987 by Roger N. Shepard, [1] [2] who began researching mechanisms of generalization while ...
