Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the problem of knowledge discovery in information systems. A model is presented for users to obtain either “objective” interesting rules or “subjective” judgments of meaningful descriptions based on their needs. Extended random sets are presented firstly to describe the relationships between condition granules and decision granules. The interpretation is then given to show what we can obtain from the extended random sets.
