transduction

The transfer of genetic material from one cell to another, typically between bacterial cells, and typically via a bacteriophage or pilus.

The process whereby a transducer converts energy from one form to another.

The conversion of a stimulus from one form to another.

The conversion of energy (especially light energy) into another form, especially in a biological process such as photosynthesis or in a transducer.

Particularly in the discipline of artificial intelligence, a form of inference, according to which the response appropriate to a particular known case, also is appropriate to another particular case diagnosed to be functionally identical. T

The improvement of an electronic logic network by reduction of redundant components in an initial version, using an established pruning procedure, then applying permissible functions for transformation of the network into a workable form. T

Instead of applying a transduction method only once, we can apply different transduction methods to an initial network in sequence. In each sequence, different or identical transduction methods can be applied in different orders. This usually leads to many different final networks.
