Abstract

This paper deals with the simplification of classification rules for data mining using rough sets theory combined with neural networks. In the attribute reduction process, the proposed approach generates minimal reduct and minimum number of rules with high accuracy. Experimental results with sample data sets in UCI repository show that this method gives a good performance in getting concise and accurate rules.
