In Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), a concept lattice graphically portrays the underlying relationships between the objects and attributes of an information system. One of the key complexity problems of concept lattices lies in extracting... more
Fuzzy Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematical tool for the effective representation of imprecise and vague knowledge. However, with a large number of formal concepts from a fuzzy context, the task of knowledge representation... more
This study explored the use of formal concept analysis (FCA), a data mining technique, to analyze coral reef transect data (in terms of life forms) and comparing its results to the standard assessment analysis. Utilizing the quadrat-life... more
Recent literature reports the growing interests in data analysis using FormalConceptAnalysis (FCA), in which data is represented in the form of object and attribute relations. FCA analyzes and then subsequently visualizes the data based... more
While small concept lattices are often represented by line diagrams to better understand their full structure, large diagrams may be too complex to do this. However, such a diagram may still be used to receive new ideas about the inherent... more
Querying image databases with similarity searches and relevance feedback has been largely investigated in the literature. In contrast, browsing has not been as much studied. We propose a browsing technique based on clustering and... more
Numerous data mining methods have been designed to help extract relevant and significant information from large datasets. Computing concept lattices allows clustering data according to their common features and making all relationships... more
Multi-layer neural networks have been successfully applied in a wide range of supervised and unsupervised learning applications. As they often produce incomprehensible models they are not widely used in data mining applications. To avoid... more
Multilayer feedforward neural networks have been successfully applied in different domains. Defining an interpretable architecture of a multilayer perceptron (MLP) for a given problem is still challenging. We propose a novel approach... more
We introduce the notion of iceberg concept lattices and show their use in Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). Iceberg lattices are a conceptual clustering method, which is well suited for analyzing very large databases. They also... more
In order to enrich the existing rule acquisition theory in formal decision contexts, this study puts forward three new types of rules: decision association rules, non-redundant decision association rules and simplest decision association... more
This paper proposes a novel application of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to neural decoding: the semantic relationships between the neural representations of large sets of stimuli are explored using concept lattices. In particular, the... more
Traditional software in Formal Concept Analysis makes little use of visualization techniques, producing poorly readable concept lattice representations when the number of concepts exceeds a few dozens. This is problematic as the number of... more
The construction of the concept lattice of a context is a time consuming process. However, in many practical cases where FCA has proven to provide theoretical strength, e.g., in data mining, the volume of data to analyze is huge. This... more
Recently, by combining rough set theory with granular computing, pessimistic and optimistic multigranulation rough sets have been proposed to derive “AND” and “OR” decision rules from decision systems. At the same time, by integrating... more
