Soft rough fuzzy sets and soft fuzzy rough sets

Fuzzy set theory, soft set theory and rough set theory are mathematical tools for dealing with uncertainties and are closely related. Feng et al. introduced the notions of rough soft set, soft rough set and soft rough fuzzy set by combining fuzzy set, rough set and soft set all together. This paper is devoted to the further discussion of the combinations of fuzzy set, rough set and soft set. A new soft rough set model is proposed and its properties are derived. Furthermore, fuzzy soft set is employed to granulate the universe of discourse and a more general model called soft fuzzy rough set is established. The lower and upper approximation operators are presented and their related properties are surveyed.

Parameterized attribute reduction with Gaussian kernel based fuzzy rough sets

Fuzzy rough sets are considered as an effective tool to deal with uncertainty in data analysis, and fuzzy similarity relations are used in fuzzy rough sets to calculate similarity between objects. On the other hand in kernel tricks, a kernel maps data into a higher dimensional feature space where the resulting structure of the learning task is linearly separable, while the kernel is the inner product of this feature space and can also be viewed as a similarity function. It has been reported there is an overlap between family of kernels and collection of fuzzy similarity relations. This fact motivates the idea in this paper to use some kernels as fuzzy similarity relations and develop kernel based fuzzy rough sets. First, we consider Gaussian kernel and propose Gaussian kernel based fuzzy rough sets. Second we introduce parameterized attribute reduction with the derived model of fuzzy rough sets. Structures of attribute reduction are investigated and an algorithm with discernibility matrix to find all reducts is developed. Finally, a heuristic algorithm is designed to compute reducts with Gaussian kernel fuzzy rough sets. Several experiments are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the idea.

On fuzzy rough sets based on tolerance relations

Dubois and Prade (1990) [1] introduced the notion of fuzzy rough sets as a fuzzy generalization of rough sets, which was originally proposed by Pawlak (1982) [8]. Later, Radzikowska and Kerre introduced the so-called (I,T)-fuzzy rough sets, where I is an implication and T is a triangular norm. In the present paper, by using a pair of implications (I,J), we define the so-called (I,J)-fuzzy rough sets, which generalize the concept of fuzzy rough sets in the sense of Radzikowska and Kerre, and that of Mi and Zhang. Basic properties of (I,J)-fuzzy rough sets are investigated in detail.     

Generalized rough sets over fuzzy lattices

This paper studies generalized rough sets over fuzzy lattices through both the constructive and axiomatic approaches. From the viewpoint of the constructive approach, the basic properties of generalized rough sets over fuzzy lattices are obtained. The matrix representation of the lower and upper approximations is given. According to this matrix view, a simple algorithm is obtained for computing the lower and upper approximations. As for the axiomatic approach, a set of axioms is constructed to characterize the upper approximation of generalized rough sets over fuzzy lattices.     

Soft sets and soft rough sets

In this study, we establish an interesting connection between two mathematical approaches to vagueness: rough sets and soft sets. Soft set theory is utilized, for the first time, to generalize Pawlak’s rough set model. Based on the novel granulation structures called soft approximation spaces, soft rough approximations and soft rough sets are introduced. Basic properties of soft rough approximations are presented and supported by some illustrative examples. We also define new types of soft sets such as full soft sets, intersection complete soft sets and partition soft sets. The notion of soft rough equal relations is proposed and related properties are examined. We also show that Pawlak’s rough set model can be viewed as a special case of the soft rough sets, and these two notions will coincide provided that the underlying soft set in the soft approximation space is a partition soft set. Moreover, an example containing a comparative analysis between rough sets and soft rough sets is given.

Exploring the boundary region of tolerance rough sets for feature selection

Of all of the challenges which face the effective application of computational intelligence technologies for pattern recognition, dataset dimensionality is undoubtedly one of the primary impediments. In order for pattern classifiers to be efficient, a dimensionality reduction stage is usually performed prior to classification. Much use has been made of rough set theory for this purpose as it is completely data-driven and no other information is required; most other methods require some additional knowledge. However, traditional rough set-based methods in the literature are restricted to the requirement that all data must be discrete. It is therefore not possible to consider real-valued or noisy data. This is usually addressed by employing a discretisation method, which can result in information loss. This paper proposes a new approach based on the tolerance rough set model, which has the ability to deal with real-valued data whilst simultaneously retaining dataset semantics. More significantly, this paper describes the underlying mechanism for this new approach to utilise the information contained within the boundary region or region of uncertainty. The use of this information can result in the discovery of more compact feature subsets and improved classification accuracy. These results are supported by an experimental evaluation which compares the proposed approach with a number of existing feature selection techniques.
