Abstract: Multi-criteria classification problem refers to a type of classification problem which has ordered-valued conditional attributes.The dominance-equivalence relation is used to describe information systems of this kind of problems.However,many real-world information systems are dynamic,attribute reductions need to be often updated as the most important knowledge in decision making.In order to deal with the dynamic information system with preference relations and provide an efficient method for updating attribute reductions for multi-criterion decision-making problems,this paper established an efficient knowledge updating method based on sequential three-way decisions under dominance-equivalence relations.Multi-granules are combined to form dynamic granular sequence,the attribute reduction are updated through reusing current information when the object set or attribute set change,thus saving the cost of attribute reduction process.Several UCI datasets are selected for experiments.The results show that the proposed method can reduce the time consumption noticeably when guarantee the quality of the attribute reduction.
