Extreme learning machine (ELM) is known as a kind of single-hidden layer feedforward network (SLFN), and has obtained considerable attention within the machine learning community and achieved various real-world applications. It has advantages such as good generalization performance, fast learning speed, and low computational cost. However, the ELM might have problems in the classification of im...

Feature selection has become a vital step in many machine learning techniques due to their inability to handle high dimensional descriptions of input features. This paper demonstrates the applicability of fuzzy-rough attribute reduction and fuzzy dependencies to the problem of learning classifiers, resulting in simpler rules with little loss in classification accuracy.

A rough set approach for attribute reduction is an important research subject in data mining and machine learning. However, most attribute reduction methods are performed on a complete decision system table. In this paper, we propose methods for attribute reduction in static incomplete decision systems and dynamic incomplete decision systems with dynamically-increasing and decreasing conditiona...

Attribute selection is one of the important problems encountered in pattern recognition, machine learning, data mining, and bioinformatics. It refers to the problem of selecting those input attributes or features that are most effective to predict the sample categories. In this regard, rough set theory has been shown to be successful for selecting relevant and nonredundant attributes from a giv...
