Abstract:A rough sets approach named semi-supervised learning rough set(SLRS) is proposed based on semi-supervised learning. Some extended definitions of information theory, such as conditional mutual information between relative values are used to measure the attribute importance and relevancy in a single sample. And then attribute values are reduced heuristically by applying semi-supervised learning. The reduced decision table can be obtained. Even when processing incomplete information systems or lacking prior knowledge, the proposed rules can be learned and added to the knowledge base. The experimental results on UCI machine learning data sets and analysis of the instances show the reasonability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
