Advancing machine learning for identifying cardiovascular disease via granular computing
Machine learning in cardiovascular disease (CVD) has broad applications in healthcare, automatically identifying hidden patterns in vast data without human intervention. Early-stage cardiovascular illness can benefit from machine learning models in drug selection. The integration of granular computing, specifically z-numbers, with machine learning algorithms, is suggested for CVD identification. Granular computing enables handling unpredictable and imprecise situations, akin to human cognitive abilities. Machine learning algorithms such as Naïve Bayes, k-nearest neighbor, random forest, and gradient boosting are commonly used in constructing these models. Experimental findings indicate that incorporating granular computing into machine learning models enhances the ability to represent uncertainty and improves accuracy in CVD detection

An Application on Text Classification Based on Granular Computing
Machine learning is the key to text classification, a granular computing approach to machine learning is applied to learning classification rules by considering the two basic issues: concept formation and concept relationships identification. In this paper, we concentrate on the selection of a single granule in each step to construct a granule network. A classification rule induction method is proposed
Granular Fuzzy Regression Domain Adaptation in Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Models
© 1993-2012 IEEE. In classical data-driven machine learning methods, massive amounts of labeled data are required to build a high-performance prediction model. However, the amount of labeled data in many real-world applications is insufficient, so establishing a prediction model is impossible. Transfer learning has recently emerged as a solution to this problem. It exploits the knowledge accumulated in auxiliary domains to help construct prediction models in a target domain with inadequate training data. Most existing transfer learning methods solve classification tasks; only a few are devoted to regression problems. In addition, the current methods ignore the inherent phenomenon of information granularity in transfer learning. In this study, granular computing techniques are applied to transfer learning. Three granular fuzzy regression domain adaptation methods to determine the estimated values for a regression target are proposed to address three challenging cases in domain adaptation. The proposed granular fuzzy regression domain adaptation methods change the input and/or output space of the source domain's model using space transformation, so that the fuzzy rules are more compatible with the target data. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods
GBG++: A Fast and Stable Granular Ball Generation Method for Classification
Granular ball computing (GBC), as an efficient, robust, and scalable learning
method, has become a popular research topic of granular computing. GBC includes
two stages: granular ball generation (GBG) and multi-granularity learning based
on the granular ball (GB). However, the stability and efficiency of existing
GBG methods need to be further improved due to their strong dependence on
-means or -division. In addition, GB-based classifiers only unilaterally
consider the GB's geometric characteristics to construct classification rules,
but the GB's quality is ignored. Therefore, in this paper, based on the
attention mechanism, a fast and stable GBG (GBG++) method is proposed first.
Specifically, the proposed GBG++ method only needs to calculate the distances
from the data-driven center to the undivided samples when splitting each GB
instead of randomly selecting the center and calculating the distances between
it and all samples. Moreover, an outlier detection method is introduced to
identify local outliers. Consequently, the GBG++ method can significantly
improve effectiveness, robustness, and efficiency while being absolutely
stable. Second, considering the influence of the sample size within the GB on
the GB's quality, based on the GBG++ method, an improved GB-based -nearest
neighbors algorithm (GBNN++) is presented, which can reduce
misclassification at the class boundary. Finally, the experimental results
indicate that the proposed method outperforms several existing GB-based
classifiers and classical machine learning classifiers on public benchmark
datasets
An Advanced Conceptual Diagnostic Healthcare Framework for Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disorders
The data mining along with emerging computing techniques have astonishingly
influenced the healthcare industry. Researchers have used different Data Mining
and Internet of Things (IoT) for enrooting a programmed solution for diabetes
and heart patients. However, still, more advanced and united solution is needed
that can offer a therapeutic opinion to individual diabetic and cardio
patients. Therefore, here, a smart data mining and IoT (SMDIoT) based advanced
healthcare system for proficient diabetes and cardiovascular diseases have been
proposed. The hybridization of data mining and IoT with other emerging
computing techniques is supposed to give an effective and economical solution
to diabetes and cardio patients. SMDIoT hybridized the ideas of data mining,
Internet of Things, chatbots, contextual entity search (CES), bio-sensors,
semantic analysis and granular computing (GC). The bio-sensors of the proposed
system assist in getting the current and precise status of the concerned
patients so that in case of an emergency, the needful medical assistance can be
provided. The novelty lies in the hybrid framework and the adequate support of
chatbots, granular computing, context entity search and semantic analysis. The
practical implementation of this system is very challenging and costly.
However, it appears to be more operative and economical solution for diabetes
and cardio patients.Comment: 11 PAGE
Parametric matroid of rough set
Rough set is mainly concerned with the approximations of objects through an
equivalence relation on a universe. Matroid is a combinatorial generalization
of linear independence in vector spaces. In this paper, we define a parametric
set family, with any subset of a universe as its parameter, to connect rough
sets and matroids. On the one hand, for a universe and an equivalence relation
on the universe, a parametric set family is defined through the lower
approximation operator. This parametric set family is proved to satisfy the
independent set axiom of matroids, therefore it can generate a matroid, called
a parametric matroid of the rough set. Three equivalent representations of the
parametric set family are obtained. Moreover, the parametric matroid of the
rough set is proved to be the direct sum of a partition-circuit matroid and a
free matroid. On the other hand, since partition-circuit matroids were well
studied through the lower approximation number, we use it to investigate the
parametric matroid of the rough set. Several characteristics of the parametric
matroid of the rough set, such as independent sets, bases, circuits, the rank
function and the closure operator, are expressed by the lower approximation
number.Comment: 15 page
