Abstract

This research presents an integrated approach for fuzzy rule generation in dataset classification by combining hybrid grid partitioning and rough set theory. The objective is to enhance the accuracy and interpretability of classification models. The approach leverages hybrid grid partitioning to achieve localized rule generation, capturing the local characteristics and patterns within different regions of the feature space. Furthermore, rough set theory is applied for attribute reduction, identifying the most relevant features and reducing the complexity of the classification problem. The generated fuzzy rules provide interpretable and understandable classification rules that facilitate domain expert interpretation. The research contributes to the field by proposing a comprehensive framework that improves both accuracy and interpretability of dataset classification. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the integrated approach, although certain limitations exist. Future research should focus on parameter selection, scalability challenges, and the applicability of the approach to diverse problem domains. The integrated approach presents a promising methodology for enhancing the accuracy and interpretability of dataset classification, with potential applications in various domains where accurate and interpretable classification models are crucial.
