This paper presents a methodology to biological image classification through a Rough-Fuzzy Artificial Neural Network (RFANN). This approach is used in order to improve the learning process by Rough Sets Theory (RS) focusing on the feature selection, considering that the RS feature selection allows the use of low dimension features from the image database. This result could be achieved, once the...

The paper presents a transition from the crisp rough set theory to a fuzzy one, called Alpha Rough Set Theory or, in short, a-RST. All basic concepts or rough set theory are extended, i.e., information system, indiscernibility, dependency, reduction, core, de®nability, approximations and boundary. The resulted theory takes into account fuzzy data and allows the approximation of fuzzy concepts. ...

As medical images contain uncertainties, there are difficulties in classification of images into homogeneous regions. Fuzzy sets, rough sets and the combination of fuzzy and rough sets plays a prominent role in formalizing uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness in diagnosis. Development of hybrid approaches for the segmentation of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the ability of com...

Fuzzy rule interpolation is an important technique for performing inferences with sparse rule bases. Even when given observations have no overlap with the antecedent values of any rule, fuzzy rule interpolation may still derive a conclusion. Nevertheless, fuzzy rule interpolation can only handle fuzziness but not roughness. Rough set theory is a useful tool to deal with incomplete knowledge, wh...

Disease forecasting using soft computing techniques is major area of research in data mining in recent years. To classify heart and diabetes diseases, this paper proposes a diagnosis system using cuckoo search optimized rough sets based attribute reduction and fuzzy logic system. The disease prediction is done as per the following steps 1) feature reduction using cuckoo search with rough set th...

There exists a direct relation between fuzzy rough sets and fuzzy preorders. On the other hand, it is well known the existing parallelism between Formal Concept Analysis and Rough Set Theory. In both cases, Galois connections play a central role. In this work, we focus on adjunctions (also named isotone Galois connections) between fuzzy preordered sets; specifically, we study necessary conditio...

Among the huge number of attributes or features present in real-life data sets, only a small fraction of them are effective to represent the data set accurately. Prior to analysis of the data set, selecting or extracting relevant and significant features is an important preprocessing step used for pattern recognition, data mining, and machine learning. In this regard, a novel dimensionality red...

A color image segmentation technique which exploits a novel definition of rough fuzzy sets and the rough–fuzzy product operation is presented. The segmentation is performed by partitioning each block in multiple rough fuzzy sets that are used to build a lower and a upper histogram in the HSV color space. For each bin of the lower and upper histograms a measure, called τ index, is computed to fi...

Abstract The Alexandrov L -fuzzy nearness is a new addition to the systems that base for intelligent and its wide applications in various fields. This paper represents connections among such as: rough sets, semi-topogenous orders uniformities complete residuated lattices. Moreover, we show there Galois correspondence between categories of those mentioned systems.

In many fields, especially in environmetrics and social sciences, it is impossible to obtain exact quantitative data about a variable of interest. Many researchers have suggested that vague, non-precise observations should be described by fuzzy sets. Fuzzy set theory originated by Zadeh (1965) relies on ordering relations that express intensity (degree) of membership of an object in a set. Appl...
