Abstract-Linguistic variables usually take the form of a base term modified by a hedge in qualitative evaluations of multi criteria decision making problems. In this paper, the linguistic fuzzy rough set is presented to objectively model non-inclusive hedges, such as more or less and roughly, with semantics. Based on the predefined resemblance relation, hedges can be represented by some compact formulae whenever the linguistic term set is uniformed distributed or non-uniformed distributed. Then a corresponding multi criteria group decision making approach is supplied for potential application and illustrated by a problem of evaluating new energy technologies.

For supervised learning, feature selection algorithms attempt to maximise a given function of predictive accuracy. This function usually considers the ability of feature vectors to reflect decision class labels. It is therefore intuitive to retain only those features that are related to or lead to these decision classes. However, in unsupervised learning, decision class labels are not provided, which poses questions such as; which features should be retained? and, why not use all of the information? The problem is that not all features are important. Some of the features may be redundant, and others may be irrelevant and noisy. In this paper, some new fuzzy-rough set-based approaches to unsupervised feature selection are proposed. These approaches require no thresholding or domain information, and result in a significant reduction in dimensionality whilst retaining the semantics of the data.
