An Efficient and Adaptive Granular-ball Generation Method in Classification Problem

Granular-ball computing is an efficient, robust, and scalable learning method for granular computing. The basis of granular-ball computing is the granular-ball generation method. This paper proposes a method for accelerating the granular-ball generation using the division to replace $k$-means. It can greatly improve the efficiency of granular-ball generation while ensuring the accuracy similar to the existing method. Besides, a new adaptive method for the granular-ball generation is proposed by considering granular-ball's overlap eliminating and some other factors. This makes the granular-ball generation process of parameter-free and completely adaptive in the true sense. In addition, this paper first provides the mathematical models for the granular-ball covering. The experimental results on some real data sets demonstrate that the proposed two granular-ball generation methods have similar accuracies with the existing method while adaptiveness or acceleration is realized.

An Efficient and Accurate Rough Set for Feature Selection, Classification and Knowledge Representation

This paper present a strong data mining method based on rough set, which can realize feature selection, classification and knowledge representation at the same time. Rough set has good interpretability, and is a popular method for feature selections. But low efficiency and low accuracy are its main drawbacks that limits its application ability. In this paper,corresponding to the accuracy, we first find the ineffectiveness of rough set because of overfitting, especially in processing noise attribute, and propose a robust measurement for an attribute, called relative importance.we proposed the concept of "rough concept tree" for knowledge representation and classification. Experimental results on public benchmark data sets show that the proposed framework achieves higher accurcy than seven popular or the state-of-the-art feature selection methods.

FT-BLAS: A High Performance BLAS Implementation With Online Fault Tolerance

Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) is a core library in scientific computing and machine learning. This paper presents FT-BLAS, a new implementation of BLAS routines that not only tolerates soft errors on the fly, but also provides comparable performance to modern state-of-the-art BLAS libraries on widely-used processors such as Intel Skylake and Cascade Lake. To accommodate the features of BLAS, which contains both memory-bound and computing-bound routines, we propose a hybrid strategy to incorporate fault tolerance into our brand-new BLAS implementation: duplicating computing instructions for memory-bound Level-1 and Level-2 BLAS routines and incorporating an Algorithm-Based Fault Tolerance mechanism for computing-bound Level-3 BLAS routines. Our high performance and low overhead are obtained from delicate assembly-level optimization and a kernel-fusion approach to the computing kernels. Experimental results demonstrate that FT-BLAS offers high reliability and high performance -- faster than Intel MKL, OpenBLAS, and BLIS by up to 3.50%, 22.14% and 21.70%, respectively, for routines spanning all three levels of BLAS we benchmarked, even under hundreds of errors injected per minute.

LRA: an accelerated rough set framework based on local redundancy of attribute for feature selection

In this paper, we propose and prove the theorem regarding the stability of attributes in a decision system. Based on the theorem, we propose the LRA framework for accelerating rough set algorithms. It is a general-purpose framework which can be applied to almost all rough set methods significantly . Theoretical analysis guarantees high efficiency. Note that the enhancement of efficiency will not lead to any decrease of the classification accuracy. Besides, we provide a simpler prove for the positive approximation acceleration framework.
