Abstract
The idea of a rough set has been proposed by the author as a new mathematical tool to deal with vagueness and uncertainty. It seems to be of fundamental importance to AI and cognitive sciences, in particular expert systems, decision support systems, machine learning, machine discovery, inductive reasoning pattern recognition, decision tables and others.
