Abstract

Rough set theory is a kind of new tool to deal with knowledge, particularly when knowledge is imprecise, inconsistent and incomplete. In this paper, we discuss some inductive machine learning techniques in the framework of the knowledge reduction approach based on rough set theory. The Monk's problems introduced in the early of nineties are resolved again employing rough set methods and their results are compared and analyzed with those obtained at that time. As far as accuracy and conciseness are concerned, the learning algorithms based on rough sets have remarkable superiority.
