A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Reduct of Attributes in Decision System Based on Rough Set Theory

Knowledge reduction is an important issue when dealing with huge amounts of data. And it has been proved that computing the minimal reduct of decision system is NP-complete. By introducing heuristic information into genetic algorithm, we proposed a heuristic genetic algorithm. In the genetic algorithm, we constructed a new operator to maintaining the classification ability. The experiment shows that our algorithm is efficient and effective for minimal reduct, even for the special example that the simple heuristic algorithm can’t get the right result.

A Correntropy-based Affine Iterative Closest Point Algorithm for Robust Point Set Registration

The iterative closest point(ICP)algorithm has the advantages of high accuracy and fast speed for point set registration,but it performs poorly when the point set has a large number of noisy outliers.To solve this problem,we propose a new affine registration algorithm based on correntropy which works well in the affine registration of point sets with outliers.Firstly,we substitute the traditional measure of least squares with a maximum correntropy criterion to build a new registration model,which can avoid the influence of outliers.To maximize the objective function,we then propose a robust affine ICP algorithm.At each iteration of this new algorithm,we set up the index mapping of two point sets according to the known transformation,and then compute the closed-form solution of the new transformation according to the known index mapping.Similar to the traditional ICP algorithm,our algorithm converges to a local maximum monotonously for any given initial value.Finally,the robustness and high efficiency of affine ICP algorithm based on correntropy are demonstrated by 2D and 3D point set registration experiments.

Local Search-Inspired Rough Sets for Improving Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm

In this paper we present a new optimization algorithm, and the proposed algorithm operates in two phases. In the first one, multiobjective version of genetic algorithm is used as search engine in order to generate approximate true Pareto front. This algorithm is based on concept of co-evolution and repair algorithm for handling nonlinear constraints. Also it maintains a finite-sized archive of non-dominated solutions which gets iteratively updated in the presence of new solutions based on the concept e-dominance. Then, in the second stage, rough set theory is adopted as local search engine in order to improve the spread of the solutions found so far. The results, provided by the proposed algorithm for benchmark problems, are promising when compared with exiting well-known algorithms. Also, our results suggest that our algorithm is better applicable for solving real-world application problems.

Rough Set Assisted Meta-Learning Method to Select Learning Algorithms

In this paper,we propose a Rough Set assisted Meta-Learning method on how to select the most-suited machine-learning algorithms with minimal effort for a new given dataset. A k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) algorithm is used to recognize the most similar datasets that have been performed by all of the candidate algorithms.By matching the most similar datasets we found,the corresponding performance of the candidate algorithms is used to generate recommendation to the user.The performance derives from a multi-criteria evaluation measure-ARR,which contains both accuracy and time.Furthermore,after applying Rough Set theory,we can find the redundant properties of the dataset.Thus,we can speed up the ranking process and increase the accuracy by using the reduct of the meta attributes.

Efficient Information Set Decoding Based on Genetic Algorithms

In this paper, we describe a hard-decision decoding technique based on Genetic Algorithms (HDGA), which is applicable to the general case of error correcting codes where the only known structure is given by the generating matrix G. Then we present a new soft-decision decoding based on HDGA and the Chase algorithm (SDGA). The performance of some binary and non-binary Linear Block Codes are given for HDGA and SDGA over Gaussian and Rayleigh channels. The performances show that the HDGA decoder has the same performances as the Berlekamp-Massey Algorithm (BMA) in various transmission channels. On the other hand, the performances of SDGA are equivalent to soft-decision decoding using Chase algorithm and BMA (Chase-BMA). The complexity of decoders proposed is also discussed and compared to those of other decoders.

The connected dominating set （CDS） problem, which consists of finding a smallest connected dominating set for graphs is an NP-hard problem in the unit disk graphs （UDGs）. This paper focuses on the CDS problem in wireless networks. Investigation of some properties of independent set （IS） in UDGs shows that geometric features of nodes distribution like angle and area can be used to design efficient heuristics for the approximation algorithms. Several constant factor approximation algorithms are presented for the CDS problem in UDGs. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms perform better than some known ones.

An Algorithm for the Feedback Vertex Set Problem on a Normal Helly Circular-Arc Graph

The feedback vertex set (FVS) problem is to find the set of vertices of minimum cardinality whose removal renders the graph acyclic. The FVS problem has applications in several areas such as combinatorial circuit design, synchronous systems, computer systems, and very-large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits. The FVS problem is known to be NP-hard for simple graphs, but polynomi-al-time algorithms have been found for special classes of graphs. The intersection graph of a collection of arcs on a circle is called a circular-arc graph. A normal Helly circular-arc graph is a proper subclass of the set of circular-arc graphs. In this paper, we present an algorithm that takes time to solve the FVS problem in a normal Helly circular-arc graph with n vertices and m edges.

Unsupervised Quick Reduct Algorithm Using Rough Set Theory

Feature selection （FS） is a process to select features which are more informative. It is one of the important steps in knowledge discovery. The problem is that not all features are important. Some of the features may be redundant, and others may be irrelevant and noisy. The conventional supervised FS methods evaluate various feature subsets using an evaluation function or metric to select only those features which are related to the decision classes of the data under consideration. However, for many data mining applications, decision class labels are often unknown or incomplete, thus indicating the significance of unsupervised feature selection. However, in unsupervised learning, decision class labels are not provided. In this paper, we propose a new unsupervised quick reduct （QR） algorithm using rough set theory. The quality of the reduced data is measured by the classification performance and it is evaluated using WEKA classifier tool. The method is compared with existing supervised methods and the result demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
