Key research themes
1. How can fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy sets enhance decision-theoretic rough set models for handling uncertainty?
This theme focuses on integrating fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy set theories with decision-theoretic rough sets (DTRS) to improve the representation and processing of uncertain, vague, or hesitant information in classification and decision-making tasks. This integration aims to expand the applicability of DTRS by incorporating richer membership descriptions, enabling better handling of membership, non-membership, and hesitancy aspects, which are critical in real-world ambiguous environments.
2. What are the advancements in dominance-based and Pythagorean fuzzy rough set approaches for knowledge reduction and decision support?
This research area explores the extension of classical rough set theory by incorporating dominance relations and Pythagorean fuzzy sets to better handle ordered preferences, impreciseness, and uncertainty in information systems. It focuses on constructing flexible approximation operators, defining knowledge reductions, and enabling preference-aware decision-making through sophisticated fuzzy dominance relations.
3. How do topological and neighborhood-based generalizations expand rough set theory for practical decision-making and classification?
This theme investigates the generalization of rough set theory via topological concepts and neighborhood systems to overcome reliance on equivalence relations, enabling handling of incomplete, continuous, or multi-source information. The focus is on defining new approximation operators based on generalized neighborhoods, multiple binary relations or coverings, and exploring their theoretical properties with practical implications for decision support and data analysis.
