Cost-Sensitive Feature Selection of Numeric Data with Measurement Errors
Feature selection is an essential process in data mining applications since it reduces a model’s complexity. However, feature selection with various types of costs is still a new research topic.

On mesogranulation, network formation and supergranulation [PDF]
We present arguments which show that in all likelihood mesogranulation is not a true scale of solar convection but the combination of the effects of both highly energetic granules, which give birth to strong positive divergences (SPDs) among which we ...

Matroidal Structure of Rough Sets Based on Serial and Transitive Relations
The theory of rough sets is concerned with the lower and upper approximations of objects through a binary relation on a universe. It has been applied to machine learning, knowledge discovery, and data mining. The theory of matroids is a generalization of

A Variable Precision Covering-Based Rough Set Model Based on Functions
Classical rough set theory is a technique of granular computing for handling the uncertainty, vagueness, and granularity in information systems. Covering-based rough sets are proposed to generalize this theory for dealing with covering data.
