Applying Rough Sets Reduction Techniques to the Construction of a Fuzzy Rule Base for Case Based Reasoning

چکیده
Early work on Case Based Reasoning reported in the literature shows the importance of soft computing techniques applied to different stages of the classical 4-step CBR life cycle. This paper proposes a reduction technique based on Rough Sets theory that is able to minimize the case base by analyzing the contribution of each feature. Inspired by the application of the minimum description length principle, the method uses the granularity of the original data to compute the relevance of each attribute. The rough feature weighting and selection method is applied as a pre-processing step previous to the generation of a fuzzy rule base that can be employed in the revision phase of a CBR system. Experiments using real oceanographic data show that the proposed reduction method maintains the accuracy of the employed fuzzy rules, while reducing the computational effort needed in its generation and increasing the explanatory strength of the fuzzy rules.

Fuzzy Rule-Based Classification Systems (FRBCS) are highly investigated by researchers due to their noise-stability and interpretability. Unfortunately, generating a rule-base which is sufficiently both accurate and interpretable, is a hard process. Rule weighting is one of the approaches to improve the accuracy of a pre-generated rule-base without modifying the original rules. Most of the pro...
متن کاملA Fuzzy-Rough Approach for Case Base Maintenance
This paper proposes a fuzzy-rough method of maintaining CaseBased Reasoning (CBR) systems. The methodology is mainly based on the idea that a large case library can be transformed to a small case library together with a group of adaptation rules, which take the form of fuzzy rules generated by the rough set technique. In paper [1], we have proposed a methodology for case base maintenance which ...

Decision table reduction in KDD refers to the problem of selecting those input feature values that are most predictive of a given outcome by reducing a decision table like database from both vertical and horizontal directions. Fuzzy rough sets has been proven to be a useful tool of attribute reduction (i.e. reduce decision table from vertical direction). However, relatively less researches on d...

With the advancement of metagenome data mining science has become focused on microarrays. Microarrays are datasets with a large number of genes that are usually irrelevant to the output class; hence, the process of gene selection or feature selection is essential. So, it follows that you can remove redundant genes and increase the speed and accuracy of classification. After applying the gene se...
