The key to granular computing is to make use of granules in problem solving. However, there are different granules at different levels of scale in data sets having hierarchical scale structures. Therefore, the concept of multi-scale decision systems is introduced in this paper, and a formal approach to knowledge acquisition measured at different levels of granulations is also proposed, and some algorithms for knowledge acquisition in consistent and inconsistent multi-scale decision systems are proposed with illustrative examples.

Entropy based optimal scale combination selection for generalized multi-scale information tables

Han Bao, Wei-Zhi Wu, Jia-Wen Zheng, Tong-Jun Li

Summary: This paper explores the concept of entropy and its application in selecting optimal scale combinations in hierarchical data sets. It examines the relationship between entropy optimal scale combinations and classical optimal scale combinations, showing their equivalence in certain scenarios. The study ultimately verifies the effectiveness of entropy in maintaining uncertain measures of knowledge in multi-scale information tables.

On Multicriteria Decision-Making Method Based on a Fuzzy Rough Set Model With Fuzzy α-Neighborhoods

Kai Zhang, Jianming Zhan, Wei-Zhi Wu

Summary: This article introduces a novel fuzzy alpha-neighborhood operator and a fuzzy rough set model based on this operator for decision-making in information systems. By utilizing data normalization and the fuzzy alpha-neighborhood-based fuzzy rough set model, real-valued information systems are effectively transformed into intuitionistic fuzzy-valued information systems, with three different sorting decision-making schemes developed on the latter. The method is validated through numerical experiments and comparative studies, demonstrating its stability and effectiveness.

Granularity and Entropy of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Information and Their Applications

Anhui Tan, Suwei Shi, Wei-Zhi Wu, Jinjin Li, Witold Pedrycz

Summary: This article examines the application of granular structures of intuitionistic fuzzy information in data mining and information processing. It defines partial-order relations at different hierarchical levels to reveal the granularity of the structures, characterizes the granularity invariance between different structures using relational mappings, and generalizes Shannon's entropies to IF entropies. The significance of intuitionistic attributes using the information measures is introduced, and an information-preserving algorithm for data reduction of IF information systems is constructed. Numerical experiments confirm the performance of the proposed technique by inducing substantial IF relations from public datasets considering the similarity/diversity between samples from the same/different classes.

Maximal consistent block based optimal scale selection for incomplete multi-scale information systems

Yu Sun, Wei-Zhi Wu, Xia Wang

Summary: This paper investigates the problem of selecting the optimal scale in numerical incomplete multi-scale information systems (NIMIS) and numerical incomplete multi-scale decision systems (NIMDS). By employing the maximal consistent block technique, the authors define the scale in NIMIS and NIMDS and propose the maximal consistent block based optimal scale. The results show that the maximal consistent block based optimal scale and the optimal scale are equivalent in consistent NIMDS, while there is no static relationship between the maximal consistent block based lower-approximation optimal scale and the upper-approximation optimal scale in inconsistent NIMDS.

Rule acquisition in generalized multi-scale information systems with multi-scale decisions

Wei-Zhi Wu, Dongran Niu, Jinhai Li, Tong -Jun Li

Summary: This paper investigates knowledge acquisition in multi-scale information systems by deriving IF-THEN rules for multi-scale decision attributes. It introduces the concept of a generalized multi-scale decision information table (GMDIT) and defines scale selections for individual decision tables in GMDITs. The paper also describes information granules and their properties with different scale selections, formulates optimal scale selections for inconsistent GMDITs, and presents local optimal scale selections for obtaining concise decision rules. Finally, attribute reducts based on optimal scale selections are derived, and hidden decision rules in inconsistent GMDITs are unraveled.
