The question "What is category theory" is approached by focusing on universal mapping properties and adjoint functors. Category theory organizes mathematics using morphisms that transmit structure and determination. Structures of…
The present paper proposes a novel way to unify Rough Set Theory and Formal Concept Analysis. Our method stems from results and insights developed in the algebraic theory of modal logic, and is based on the idea that Pawlak's original…
Combinatorics studies how discrete objects can be counted, arranged, and combined under specified rules. Motivated by uncertainty in real-world data and decisions, modern set-theoretic formalisms such as fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets, rough…
The Fuzzy Modeling has been applied in a wide variety of fields such as Engineering and Management Sciences and Social Sciences to solve a number Decision Making Problems which involve impreciseness, uncertainty and vagueness in data. In…
We introduce a general theory of epistemic random fuzzy sets for reasoning with fuzzy or crisp evidence. This framework generalizes both the Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions, and possibility theory. Independent epistemic random…
Using the concepts of category and functor, we provide some insights and prove an intrinsic property of the category ${\bf AprS}$ of approximation spaces and relation-preserving functions, the category ${\bf RCls}$ of rough closure spaces…
New concepts of rough natural number systems, recently introduced by the present author, are used to improve most rough set-theoretical measures in general Rough Set theory (\textsf{RST}) and measures of mutual consistency of multiple…
The inverse problem of general rough sets, considered by the present author in some of her earlier papers, in one of its manifestations is essentially the question of when an agent's view about crisp and non crisp objects over a set of…
Since categories are graphs with additional "structure", one should start from fuzzy graphs in order to define a theory of fuzzy categories. Thus is makes sense to introduce categories whose morphisms are associated with a plausibility…
In this paper, generalised intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and relations on generalised intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets are defined and a few of their properties are studied. An application of generalised intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets in…
In this study, after given the definition of soft sets and their basic operations we define convex soft sets which is an important concept for operation research, optimization and related problems. Then, we define concave soft sets and give…
A widespread approach in machine learning to evaluate the quality of a classifier is to cross -- classify predicted and actual decision classes in a confusion matrix, also called error matrix. A classification tool which does not assume…
We consider fuzzy rough sets defined on De Morgan Heyting algebras. We present a theorem that can be used to obtain several correspondence results between fuzzy rough sets and fuzzy relations defining them. We characterize fuzzy rough…
Interpretability is the next frontier in machine learning research. In the search for white box models - as opposed to black box models, like random forests or neural networks - rule induction algorithms are a logical and promising option,…
We introduce the notion of an enriched set, as an abstraction of enriched categories, and a category of enriched sets. The set of enriched sets is itself described as a set enriched over the category of enriched sets. We introduce a method…
Hesitant fuzzy sets find extensive application in specific scenarios involving uncertainty and hesitation. In the context of set theory, the concept of inclusion relationship holds significant importance as a fundamental definition.…
The problem of comparing concepts of dependence in general rough sets with those in probability theory had been initiated by the present author in some of her recent papers. This problem relates to the identification of the limitations of…
Although some information-theoretic measures of uncertainty or granularity have been proposed in rough set theory, these measures are only dependent on the underlying partition and the cardinality of the universe, independent of the lower…
Inconsistency in prediction problems occurs when instances that relate in a certain way on condition attributes, do not follow the same relation on the decision attribute. For example, in ordinal classification with monotonicity…
Rough sets over generalized transitive relations like proto-transitive ones had been initiated by the present author in the year 2012. Subsequently, approximation of proto-transitive relations by other relations was investigated and the…
