His research interests include rough and fuzzy set theory; pattern recognition; information retrieval; feature selection; and swarm intelligence. He has published over 25 peer-refereed articles in these areas. Qiang Shen is a professor with the Department of Computer Science at Aberystwyth University, and an honorary fellow at the University of Edinburgh. His research interests include computational intelligence; fuzzy and qualitative modeling; reasoning under uncertainty; pattern recognition; and knowledge refinement and reuse. Dr Shen is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems and of the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (Part B), and an editorial board member of the Fuzzy Sets and Systems Journal amongst others. He has published over 200 peer-refereed papers in academic journals and conferences on topics within artificial intelligence and related areas. A fundamental introduction to feature selections with an emphasis on rough and fuzzy sets Computational Intelligence and Feature Selection provides a high-level audience with both the background and fundamental ideas behind feature selection with an emphasis on those techniques based on rough and fuzzy sets, including their hybridizations. It introduces set theory, fuzzy set theory, rough set theory, and fuzzy-rough set theory, and illustrates the power and efficacy of the feature selection described using real-world applications and worked examples. Program files implementing major algorithms covered, together with the necessary instructions and datasets, are available on the Web. Key features: Provides a critical review of feature selection methods, with particular emphasis on their current limitations. Offers introductory material regarding all theoretical concepts involved, with the aim of bringing the reader to a full understanding of rough, fuzzy and fuzzy-rough set theories irrespective of their background. Draws on real world applications, with worked examples, that illustrate the power and efficacy of the feature selection approaches.
