2631An effective algorithm for computing reducts in decision tables
In this paper, we propose a reduct computing algorithm using attribute clustering. The proposed algorithm works in three main stages. In the first stage, irrelevant attributes are eliminated. In the second stage relevant attributes are divided into appropriately selected number of clusters by Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) clustering method integrated with a special metric in attribute space which is the normalized variation of information. In the third stage, the representative attribute from each cluster is selected that is the most class-related. The selected attributes form the approximate reduct. The proposed algorithm is implemented and experimented. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of computing approximate reduct with small size and high classification accuracy, when the number of clusters used to group the attributes is appropriately selected.

2639An experimental investigation of sensor fault assessment for piezoelectric interface-based structural health monitoring
This study presents an experimental investigation on sensor fault diagnosis for piezoelectric interface-based SHM. Firstly, an impedance monitoring method via the smart piezoelectric interface is introduced. Secondly, experiments are conducted on a steel bolted connection to investigate the effect of sensor defects on impedance responses. Finally, an impedance feature is extracted and used to diagnose and differentiate the sensor defects from the structural damages.
