Research Objective: Rough Set Theory has emerged in last forty years as a mathematical framework for approximate reasoning with wide range of applications for Data Mining, Machine Learning and Soft Computing. The objective of my research is to utilize the principles of rough sets and its extensions for building feature subset selection (Reduct computation) approaches, evolve approaches for developing hybrid soft computing solutions, build MapReduce based scalable soluctions for meeting the requirements of Big Data scenario.
