In this paper, the multigranulation technique is introduced into incomplete information systems. Both tolerance relations and maximal consistent blocks are used to construct multigranulation rough sets. Not only are the basic properties about these models studied, but also the relationships between different multigranulation rough sets are explored. It is shown that by using maximal consistent blocks, the greater lower approximation and the same upper approximation as from tolerance relations can be obtained. Such a result is consistent with that of a single-granulation framework.展开更多

Uncovering accurate community structure is effective for understanding and exploiting networks. Tolerance Granulation based Community Detection Algorithm(TGCDA) is proposed in this paper, which uses tolerance relation(namely tolerance granulation) to granulate a network hierarchically. Firstly, TGCDA relies on the tolerance relation among vertices to form an initial granule set. Then granules in this set which satisfied granulation coefficient are hierarchically merged by tolerance granulation operation. The process is finished till the granule set includes one granule. Finally, select a granule set with maximum granulation criterion to handle overlapping vertices among some granules. The overlapping vertices are merged into corresponding granules based on their degrees of affiliation to realize the community partition of complex networks. The final granules are regarded as communities so that the granulation for a network is actually the community partition of the network.Experiments on several datasets show our algorithm is effective and it can identify the community structure more accurately. On real world networks, TGCDA achieves Normalized Mutual Information(NMI) accuracy 17.55% higher than NFA averagely and on synthetic random networks, the NMI accuracy is also improved.
