abstract = {AbstractHybrid soft set model is an important topic for dealing with uncertainty. By means of soft neighborhoods, soft complementary neighborhoods and soft adhesions, we build five new different types of soft coverings based rough sets and study related properties. The relationships between soft rough sets and soft covering based rough sets are investigated. Finally, we give two special algorithms based on the first two types of soft coverings based rough sets and apply the two special algorithms to solve an actual problem.},
