The Dao of three-way decision and three-world thinking

Y Yao - International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2023 - Elsevier
Three-way decision is about thinking, problem-solving, and computing in threes or through
triads. Its philosophy and practice of triadic thinking appear everywhere. In particular, there …

Set-theoretic models of three-way decision

Y Yao - Granular Computing, 2021 - Springer
The theory of three-way decision is about a philosophy of thinking in threes, a methodology

Symbols-Meaning-Value (SMV) space as a basis for a conceptual model of data science

Y Yao - International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2022 - Elsevier
By applying the principles of three-way decision as thinking in threes, in this paper I
introduce a conceptual model of data science in three steps. First, I examine examples of …

Three-way decisions and cognitive computing

Y Yao - Cognitive computation, 2016 - Springer
A trisecting-and-acting model explains three-way decisions (3WD) in terms of two basic
tasks. One task is to divide a universal set into three pair-wise disjoint regions called a …

The geometry of three-way decision

Y Yao - Applied Intelligence, 2021 - Springer
A theory of three-way decision concerns the art, science, and practice of thinking, problem
solving, and information processing in threes. It explores the effective uses of triads of three …

Three-way decisions space and three-way decisions

BQ Hu - Information sciences, 2014 - Elsevier
Abstract Ideas of three-way decisions proposed by Yao come from rough sets. It is well
known that there are three basic elements in three-way decisions theory, which are ordered …

Dual‐process and dual‐system theories of reasoning

K Frankish - Philosophy Compass, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Dual‐process theories hold that there are two distinct processing modes available for many
cognitive tasks: one (type 1) that is fast, automatic and non‐conscious, and another (type 2) …
