Vague Concepts: A Rough Set Approach

نویسنده

  • Andrzej Skowron
چکیده

The approximation space definition has evolved in rough set theory over the last 15 years. The aim was to build a unified framework for concept approximations. We present an overview of this evolution together with some operations on approximation spaces that are used in searching for relevant approximation spaces. Among such operations are inductive extensions and granulations of approximation spaces. We emphasize important consequences of the paper for research on approximation of vague concepts and reasoning about them in the framework of adaptive learning. This requires developing new approach to vague concepts going beyond the traditional rough or fuzzy approaches.

A New Approach for Knowledge Based Systems Reduction using Rough Sets Theory (RESEARCH NOTE)

Problem of knowledge analysis for decision support system is the most difficult task of information systems. This paper presents a new approach based on notions of mathematical theory of Rough Sets to solve this problem. Using these concepts a systematic approach has been developed to reduce the size of decision database and extract reduced rules set from vague and uncertain data. The method ha...

Rough Sets and Sorites Paradox

We discuss the rough set approach to approximation of vague concepts. There are already published several papers on rough sets and vague concepts staring from the seminal papers by Zdzis law Pawlak. However, only a few of them are discussing the relationships of rough sets with the sorites paradox. This paper contains a continuation of discussion on this issue.

Rough Sets and Higher Order Vagueness

We present a rough set approach to vague concept approximation within the adaptive learning framework. In particular, the role of extensions of approximation spaces in searching for concept approximation is emphasized. Boundary regions of approximated concepts within the adaptive learning framework are satisfying the higher order vagueness condition, i.e., the boundary regions of vague concepts...

A hybrid filter-based feature selection method via hesitant fuzzy and rough sets concepts

High dimensional microarray datasets are difficult to classify since they have many features with small number ofinstances and imbalanced distribution of classes. This paper proposes a filter-based feature selection method to improvethe classification performance of microarray datasets by selecting the significant features. Combining the concepts ofrough sets, weighted rough set, fuzzy rough se...

4 Rough Sets

Rough set theory is a new mathematical approach to imperfect knowledge. The problem of imperfect knowledge, tackled for a long time by philosophers, logicians, and mathematicians, has become also a crucial issue for computer scientists, particularly in the area of artificial intelligence. There are many approaches to the problem of how to understand and manipulate imperfect knowledge. The most ...
