Knowledge Granulation in Interval-Valued Information Systems

Abstract

Rough set theory, proposed by Pawlak, has been proved to be a mathematical tool to deal with vagueness and uncertainty in intelligent information processing. In this paper, we propose the concept of knowledge granulation in interval-valued information systems, and discuss some important properties. From these properties, it can be shown that the proposed knowledge granulation provides important approaches to measuring the discernibility of different knowledge. It may be helpful for rule evaluation and knowledge discovery in interval-valued information systems.
