            Abstract : 
Due to the explosive growth of electronically stored information, automatic methods must be developed to aid users in maintaining and using this abundance of information effectively.This paper presents a novel approach,based on an integrated use of fuzzy and rough set theories,to greatly reduce data redundancy. Experimental results show that fuzzy-rough reduction is more powerful than the conventional rough set-based approach.
