We have identified and defined two new incompleteness errors i.e. functional property omission (FPO) for single valued property and inverse-functional property omission (IFPO) for a unique valued property. We have demonstrated the importance of such errors by giving different scenarios where appropriate.

Bayesian method has been found highly appropriate for text classification but it suffers from a number of problems. When there is large number of categories, lack of uniformity in training data becomes a big problem. Some nodes may get less training documents, while other may get a very large number. Therefore, some nodes are biased over others. Besides, presence of noise data or outliers also creates problems. Moreover, when documents are very small, just like a line item describing a product, the problem becomes more difficult. In this paper we describe a method that combines naive Bayesian text classification technique and neural networks to handle these problems. We start with a naive Bayesian classifier, which has the linear separating surfaces. We modify the separating surfaces using neural network to find better separating surfaces and hence better classification accuracy over validation data.","PeriodicalId":259430,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing (GRC 2007)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132023799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present a new visualization which lets programmers know which race is affected or not. For this, our technique checks whether any message racing toward a race is affected or not based on happen- before relation, and also checks which process influences a race during an execution. After the execution, it visualizes the affect-relations of the detected races. Therefore, our visualization helps for programmers to effectively distinguish unaffected races from affected races, and to debug MPI parallel programs.","PeriodicalId":259430,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing (GRC 2007)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133189494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Positional analysis of a social network aims to find similarities between actors in the network. One of the the most studied notions in the positional analysis of social networks is regular equivalence. According to Borgatti and Everett, two actors are regularly equivalent if they are equally related to equivalent others. In recent years, fuzzy social networks have also received considerable attention because they can represent both the qualitative relationship and the degrees of interaction between actors. In this paper, we generalize the notion of regular equivalence to fuzzy social networks based on two alternative definitions of regular equivalence. While these two definitions are equivalent for social networks, they induce different generalizations for fuzzy social networks. The first generalization, called regular similarity, is based on the characterization of regular equivalence as an equivalence relation that commutes with the underlying social relations. The regular similarity is then a fuzzy binary relation that specifies the degree of similarity between actors in the social network. The second generalization, called generalized regular equivalence, is based on the definition of role assignment or coloring. A role assignment (resp. coloring) is a mapping from the set of actors to a set of roles (resp. colors). The mapping is regular if actors assigned to the same role have the same roles in their neighborhoods. Consequently, generalized regular equivalence is an equivalence relation that can determine the role partition of the actors in a fuzzy social network.","PeriodicalId":259430,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing (GRC 2007)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124578868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, a reasoning algorithm of MFCD based on unitizing coefficient is proposed to deal with the reasoning of MFCD. Lastly, an example about fault diagnosis of a steam generator in the nuclear power plant demonstrates the effect of the reasoning algorithm of MFCD, and the result is coincident with the fact.

Frequently, this is extended to a granular hierarchy, with progressively finer division as one moves down the hierarchy. The widespread use of hierarchical organisation shows that this is a natural approach for humans, as is the use of fuzzy granules rather than inflexible category specifications. Care is needed when information systems use fuzzy sets in this way - they are not disjunctive possibility distributions, but must be interpreted conjunctively. We clarify this distinction and show how an extended mass assignment framework can be used to extract relations between granules. These relations are association rules and are useful when integrating multiple information sources categorised according to different hierarchies. Our association rules do not suffer from problems associated with use of fuzzy cardinalities.","PeriodicalId":259430,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing (GRC 2007)","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124272230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
