Abstract
En 中文
Multigranularity knowledge modeling is an influential study for information processing and knowledge discovery in artificial intelligence (AI). A central research focus is the multigranularity representation and learning of knowledge structures. Among them, fuzzy rough sets (FRSs) have emerged as a representative method for characterizing uncertain knowledge. However, the existing FRS studies still exhibit two limitations: low robustness in knowledge acquisition and incomplete characterization of uncertainty. Hence, this article proposes a zentropy-enhanced multigranularity knowledge modeling framework for robust feature selection (ZeMG-FS). Specifically, we design a fast and adaptive multigranularity information granulation mechanism based on generalized granular-ball generation to effectively capture data distributions embedded in complex data. Then, the fuzzy rough approximation method is incorporated into the representation of multigranularity knowledge. Furthermore, we analyze the fundamental relationships and structures of the multigranularity knowledge model to introduce a novel multilevel zentropy. Unlike existing entropy measures, the primary consideration of the proposed zentropy is to match and enhance the performance of the proposed model. Finally, we design two feature evaluation criteria grounded in the model and apply them to feature selection. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed methods achieve superior robustness and effectiveness compared with state-of-the-art approaches.
