Abstract

Concept-cognitive learning, which emphasizes the representation and learning of knowledge incorporated within data, has yielded excellent results in classification research. However, learning concepts from a high-dimensional dataset is a time-consuming and complex process, which increases the extraction of redundant information and leads to poor classification task. Most existing neighborhood concept generated by neighborhood similarity granule use a single predefined distance function and ignore the decision labels, which lead to the fact that the learned distance function is not optimal. Moreover, current concept-cognitive learning methods do not fully utilize the advantages of granular concept and neighborhood concept, resulting in weak interpretability. To address these issues, we introduce a novel association-based concept-cognitive learning method with distance metric learning for knowledge fusion and concept classification. To be concrete, to decrease the dimensionality of dataset and remove the interfering information, the representative attribute set from attribute clusters based on correlation coefficient matrix is firstly discussed. Subsequently, neighborhood similarity granules based on distance metric learning are used to construct fuzzy concepts. To obtain fuzzy concept of maximum contribution, we present a valid fuzzy concept associative space related to clues in the human brain. Furthermore, a mechanism of fuzzy concept-cognitive associative learning with distance metric learning (FCADML) model is proposed, which aims to achieve concept clustering and class prediction by fusing objects and attributes within fuzzy concepts. Finally, we perform a classification performance evaluation on thirteen datasets which verify that the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed learning mechanism.
基于关联的分类概念认知学习:融合知识与距离度量学习
概念认知学习强调对数据中包含的知识进行表征和学习,在分类研究中取得了优异的成绩。然而,从高维数据集中学习概念是一个耗时且复杂的过程,这增加了冗余信息的提取,导致分类任务不佳。现有邻域相似度颗粒生成的邻域概念大多使用单一的预定义距离函数,忽略决策标签,导致学习到的距离函数不是最优的。此外,现有的概念认知学习方法没有充分利用颗粒概念和邻域概念的优势,导致可解释性较弱。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了一种新的基于关联的概念认知学习方法,并结合距离度量学习进行知识融合和概念分类。具体来说,为了降低数据集的维数,去除干扰信息,首先讨论了基于相关系数矩阵的属性聚类的代表性属性集。然后,利用基于距离度量学习的邻域相似粒构造模糊概念。为了获得贡献最大的模糊概念,我们提出了一个与人脑线索相关的有效模糊概念联想空间。在此基础上,提出了一种模糊概念-认知关联学习与距离度量学习(FCADML)模型,通过融合模糊概念中的对象和属性,实现概念聚类和类别预测。最后,我们对13个数据集进行了分类性能评估,验证了所提出学习机制的可行性和有效性。
