Lean maintenance concept is crucial to increase the reliability and availability of maintenance equipment in the manufacturing companies. Due the elimination of losses in maintenance processes this concept reduce the number of unplanned downtime and unexpected failures, simultaneously influence a company’s operational and economic performance. Despite the widespread use of lean maintenance, there is no structured approach to support the choice of methods and tools used for the maintenance function improvement. Therefore, in this paper by using machine learning methods and rough set theory a new approach was proposed. This approach supports the decision makers in the selection of methods and tools for the effective implementation of Lean Maintenance.

This work presents the combination of fuzzy theory and rough set theory to solve facility location selection problems under the condition of involving different objective/subjective attributes. We try to utilize individual merits for each method and combine it to form a reliable selection of alternative suppliers. An empirical example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the integrated method. Our results showed that the integrated method can allow decision makers to get the best candidate of supplier location, and is recommended in the practice therefore.

A new approach is presented, in which rough set theory is applied to select attributes as nodes of a decision tree. Initially, dataset is partitioned into subsets based on different condition attributes, then an attribute is chosen as a node for branching when the size of its corresponding implicit region is smaller than that of all other attributes. This approach is compared to the entropy-based method on some datasets from the UCI Machine Learning Database Repository, which instantiates the performance of the rough set approach. Statistical experiments showed that the proposed approach is feasible for decision-tree construction.

Abstract Speech is one of the most delicate medium through which gender of the speakers can easily be identified. Though the related research has shown very good progress in machine learning but recently, deep learning has imparted a very good research area to explore the deficiency of gender discrimination using traditional machine learning techniques. In deep learning techniques, the speech features are automatically generated by the reinforcement learning from the raw data which have more discriminating power than the human generated features. But in some practical situations like gender recognition, it is observed that combination of both types of features sometimes provides comparatively better performance. In the proposed work, we have initially extracted and selected some informative and precise acoustic features relevant to gender recognition using entropy based information theory and Rough Set Theory (RST). Next, the audio speech signals are directly fed into the deep neural network model consists of Convolution Neural Network (CNN) and Gated Recurrent Unit network (GRUN) for extracting features useful for gender recognition. The RST selects precise and informative features, CNN extracts the locally encoded important features, and GRUN reduces the vanishing gradient and exploding gradient problems. Finally, a hybrid gender recognition system is developed combining both generated feature vectors. The developed model has been tested with five bench mark and a simulated dataset to evaluate its performance and it is observed that combined feature vector provides more effective gender recognition system specially when transgender is considered as a gender type together with male and female.

E-bussiness has grown rapidly in the last decade and massive amount of data on customer purchases, browsing pattern and preferences has been generated. Classification of electronic data plays a pivotal role to mine the valuable information and thus has become one of the most important applications of E-bussiness. Support Vector Machines are popular and powerful machine learning techniques, and they offer state-of-the-art performance. Rough set theory is a formal mathematical tool to deal with incomplete or imprecise information and one of its important applications is feature selection. In this paper, rough set theory and support vector machines are combined to construct a classification model to classify the data of E-bussiness effectively.

Currently a spam filtering method is extracting attributes from e-mail header and using machine learning methods to classify the sample sets. But as time goes on, spammers transform different ways to send spam, which result in a great change of spam's header. So the attributes defined in the past could not deal with this change sufficiently. This paper extracted attributes from all possible forged header fields to expand the feature sets, then used the rough set theory to classify the sample sets. Experiment validated more attributes including in feature sets may lead to greater performance, in terms of higher recall and precision, lower fake recognition than other algorithms.

In today’s big-data era, enterprises are able to generate complex and non-structured information that could cause considerable challenges for CPA firms in data analysis and to issue improper audited reports within the required period. Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled auditing technology not only facilitates accurate and comprehensive auditing for CPA firms, but is also a major breakthrough in auditing’s new environment. Applications of an AI-enabled auditing technique in external auditing can add to auditing efficiency, increase financial reporting accountability, ensure audit quality, and assist decision-makers in making reliable decisions. Strategies related to the adoption of an AI-enabled auditing technique by CPA firms cover the classical multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) task (i.e., several perspectives/criteria must be considered). To address this critical task, the present study proposes a fusion multiple rule-based decision making (MRDM) model that integrates rule-based technique (i.e., the fuzzy rough set theory (FRST) with ant colony optimization (ACO)) into MCDM techniques that can assist decision makers in selecting the best methods necessary to achieve the aspired goals of audit success. We also consider potential implications for articulating suitable strategies that can improve the adoption of AI-enabled auditing techniques and that target continuous improvement and sustainable development.

Rough set theory has been mainly applied to data with categorical values. In order to handle data with numerical values in this theory, a familiar concept of ‘wildcards’ was employed, and a new framework of rough sets based rule generation has been proposed. Two characters @ and # were introduced into this framework, and numerical patterns were also defined for numerical values. The concepts of ‘coarse’ and ‘fine’ for rules were explicitly defined according to numerical patterns. This paper enhances the previous framework, and describes the implementation of an utility program. This utility program is applied to the data in UCI Machine Learning Repository, and some useful rules are obtained.
