On sets of graded attribute implications with witnessed non-redundancy

Abstract: We study properties of particular non-redundant sets of if-then rules describing dependencies between graded attributes. We introduce notions of saturation and witnessed non-redundancy of sets of graded attribute implications are show that bases of graded attribute implications given by systems of pseudo-intents correspond to non-redundant sets of graded attribute implications with saturated consequents where the non-redundancy is witnessed by antecedents of the contained graded attribute implications. We introduce an algorithm which transforms any complete set of graded attribute implications parameterized by globalization into a base given by pseudo-intents. Experimental evaluation is provided to compare the method of obtaining bases for general parameterizations by hedges with earlier graph-based approaches.
