Thereafter the transformation and reduction may be repeated till no worthwhile further improvement results. countable, uncountable
"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."
3
the process whereby a transducer accepts energy in one form and gives back related energy in a different form wordnet
