Community detection in a social network is a well-known problem that has been studied in computer science since early 2000. The algorithms available in the literature mainly follow two strategies, one, which allows a node to be a part of... more
Information granules are complex entities that arise in the process of abstraction of data and derivation of knowledge. The automatic generation of information granules from data is an important task, since it gives to machines the... more
This book contains thirteen chapters. There are (1) Preliminary, (2) Formal Context Based on Pictorial Diagram, (3) Partially-Ordered Attribute Diagram, (4) Non-matrix Knowledge Reduction Method for Fuzzy Context, (5) Interval-Set-Based... more
This paper investigates a novel graph embedding procedure based on simplicial complexes. Inherited from algebraic topology, simplicial complexes are collections of increasing-order simplices (e.g., points, lines, triangles, tetrahedrons)... more
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Rough Sets, Fuzzy Sets, Data Mining, and Granular Computing, RSFDGrC 2009, held in Delhi, India in December 2009 in conjunction with the Third... more
Cognitive concept learning is to learn concepts from a given clue by simulating human thought processes including perception, attention and thinking. In recent years, it has attracted much attention from the communities of formal concept... more
Social network data has been modeled with several approaches, including Sociogram and Sociomatrices, which are popular and comprehensive. Similar to these we have developed here a novel modeling technique based on granular computing... more
Diamond granular computing segmentation algorithm is presented to solve the low segmentation speed of color image segmentation based on clustering method. For a color image, the RGB feature of each pixel point is represented as an atomic... more
Professor Degang Chen, professor Weihua Xu, and professor Jinhai Li organized a special issue entitled "Granular Computing in Machine Learning" in the Granular Computing journal... more
In the plethora of conceptual and algorithmic developments supporting data analytics and system modeling, humancentric pursuits assume a particular position owing to ways they emphasize and realize interaction between users and the data.... more
Prof. Degang Chen, Prof. Weihua Xu, and I jointly organized a special issue entitled "Granular computing in machine learning" in Journal of Granular Computing.
Observing the world and finding trends and relations among the variables of interest is an important and common learning activity. In this paper we apply TETRAD, a program that uses Bayesian networks to discover causal rules, and C4.5,... more
概念是知识表示的基本认知单元,它由外延和内涵两部分构成.由于概念的外延与内涵可以相互诱导,所以概念的外延和内涵中一旦有一个被确定下来,那么这个概念也就随之确定.概念认知是将属于这一概念的特征属性筛选出来,同时把不属于这一概念的特征属性排除,即通过确定内涵的方式获得概念,它采用特定的认知方法来完成概念的识别.当前,概念认知正逐渐借鉴认知科学领域中的一些研究思想,不断地完善自身理论与方法.然而,现有的概念认知方法要求假定概念认知算子具有完全认知功能,但现实中由于个体认知的局限性往... more
In order to enrich the existing rule acquisition theory in formal decision contexts, this study puts forward three new types of rules: decision association rules, non-redundant decision association rules and simplest decision association... more
A rule based system is a special type of expert system, which typically consists of a set of if-then rules. Such rules can be used in the real world for both academic and practical purposes. In general, rule based systems are involved in... more
"Pre-determining locations and intensity of a seismic area is considered as a complicated disaster management problem. All over the world scientists attempts to predict an impending earthquake with varied phenomena as seismicity... more
The main goal of this paper is to integrate the relationships among rough set theory and topology. We introduce different closure operators by using binary relations. Using these operators, we construct generalized approximation operators... more
