Fuzzy Rough Sets Based on Fuzzy Quantification
One of the weaknesses of classical (fuzzy) rough sets is their sensitivity to noise, which is particularly undesirable for machine learning applications. One approach to solve this issue is by making use of fuzzy quantifiers, as done by the vaguely quantified fuzzy rough set (VQFRS) model. While this idea is intuitive, the VQFRS model suffers from both theoretical flaws as well as from suboptimal performance in applications. In this paper, we improve on VQFRS by introducing fuzzy quantifier-based fuzzy rough sets (FQFRS), an intuitive generalization of fuzzy rough sets that makes use of general unary and binary quantification models. We show how several existing models fit in this generalization as well as how it inspires novel ones. Several binary quantification models are proposed to be used with FQFRS. We conduct a theoretical study of their properties, and investigate their potential by applying them to classification problems. In particular, we highlight Yager's Weighted Implication-based (YWI) binary quantification model, which induces a fuzzy rough set model that is both a significant improvement on VQFRS, as well as a worthy competitor to the popular ordered weighted averaging based fuzzy rough set (OWAFRS) model.

Choquet-Based Fuzzy Rough Sets
Fuzzy rough set theory can be used as a tool for dealing with inconsistent data when there is a gradual notion of indiscernibility between objects. It does this by providing lower and upper approximations of concepts. In…
