Visual analytics in FCA-based clustering
Visual analytics is a subdomain of data analysis which combines both human
and machine analytical abilities and is applied mostly in decision-making and
data mining tasks. Triclustering, based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), was
developed to detect groups of objects with similar properties under similar
conditions. It is used in Social Network Analysis (SNA) and is a basis for
certain types of recommender systems. The problem of triclustering algorithms
is that they do not always produce meaningful clusters. This article describes
a specific triclustering algorithm and a prototype of a visual analytics
platform for working with obtained clusters. This tool is designed as a testing
frameworkis and is intended to help an analyst to grasp the results of
triclustering and recommender algorithms, and to make decisions on
meaningfulness of certain triclusters and recommendations.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 2 algorithms, 3rd International Conference on

Proceedings of the International Workshop "What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?" (FCA4AI 2014)
International audienceThis is the third edition of the FCA4AI workshop, whose first edition was organized at ECAI 2012 Conference (Montpellier, August 2012) and second edition was organized at IJCAI 2013 Conference (Beijing, August 2013, see http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru/). Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification that can be used for many purposes, especially for Artificial Intelligence (AI) needs. The objective of the workshop is to investigate two main main issues: how can FCA support various AI activities (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, learning, data mining, NLP, information retrieval), and how can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new and complex problems in their domain
