Abstract

Pawlak introduced approximation spaces in his seminal work on rough sets more than two decades ago. In this paper, we show that approximation spaces are basic structures for knowledge discovery from multi-relational data. The utility of approximation spaces as fundamental objects constructed for concept approximation is emphasized. Examples of basic concepts are given throughout this paper to illustrate how approximation spaces can be beneficially used in many settings. The contribution of this paper is the presentation of an approximation space-based framework for doing research in various forms of knowledge discovery in multi relational data.
