MGRS: A multi-granulation rough set

TL;DR: It is shown that some of the properties of Pawlak's rough set theory are special instances of those of MGRS, and several important measures are presented, which are re-interpreted in terms of a classic measure based on sets, the Marczewski-Steinhaus metric and the inclusion degree measure.

Positive approximation: An accelerator for attribute reduction in rough set theory

TL;DR: A theoretic framework based on rough set theory, called positive approximation, is introduced, which can be used to accelerate a heuristic process of attribute reduction, and several representative heuristic attribute reduction algorithms inrough set theory have been enhanced.

Review: Dimensionality reduction based on rough set theory: A review

TL;DR: The rough sets hybridization with fuzzy sets, neural network and metaheuristic algorithms have been reviewed and the performance analysis of the algorithms has been discussed in connection with the classification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incomplete Multigranulation Rough Set

TL;DR: Several elementary measures are proposed for this rough-set framework, and a concept of approximation reduct is introduced to characterize the smallest attribute subset that preserves the lower approximation and upper approximation of all decision classes in this rough set model.

Discernibility matrix simplification for constructing attribute reducts

TL;DR: This paper proposes a reduct construction method based on discernibility matrix simplification, which works in a similar way to the classical Gaussian elimination method for solving a system of linear equations.

Rough sets

TL;DR: This approach seems to be of fundamental importance to artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive sciences, especially in the areas of machine learning, knowledge acquisition, decision analysis, knowledge discovery from databases, expert systems, decision support systems, inductive reasoning, and pattern recognition.

Knowledge Discovery in Databases

TL;DR: Knowledge Discovery in Databases brings together current research on the exciting problem of discovering useful and interesting knowledge in databases, which spans many different approaches to discovery, including inductive learning, bayesian statistics, semantic query optimization, knowledge acquisition for expert systems, information theory, and fuzzy 1 sets.
Book

Principles of Database Systems

TL;DR: A large part is a description of relations, their algebra and calculus, and the query languages that have been designed using these concepts and explanations of how the theory can be used to design good systems.

Rough Sets and Data Mining: Analysis of Imprecise Data

TL;DR: Rough Sets and Data Mining: Analysis of Imprecise Data is an edited collection of research chapters on the most recent developments in rough set theory and data mining that focus on discovering dependencies among data, and reasoning about vague, uncertain and imprecise information.
