A Parallel between Extended Formal Concept Analysis and Bipartite Graphs Analysis

International audienceThe paper offers a parallel between two approaches to con-ceptual clustering, namely formal concept analysis (augmented with theintroduction of new operators) and bipartite graph analysis. It is shownthat a formal concept (as defined in formal concept analysis) correspondsto the idea of a maximal bi-clique, while a “conceptual world” (definedthrough a Galois connection associated of the new operators) is a dis-connected sub-graph in a bipartite graph. The parallel between formalconcept analysis and bipartite graph analysis is further exploited by con-sidering “approximation” methods on both sides. It leads to suggests newideas for providing simplified views of datasets

Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop "What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?", FCA4AI 2016(co-located with ECAI 2016, The Hague, Netherlands, August 30th 2016)

International audienceThese are the proceedings of the fifth edition of the FCA4AI workshop (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 FCA4AI 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. Accordingly, topics of interest are related to the following: (i) Extensions of FCA for AI: pattern structures, projections, abstractions. (ii) Knowledge discovery based on FCA: classification, data mining, pattern mining, functional dependencies, biclustering, stability, visualization. (iii) Knowledge processing based on concept lattices: modeling, representation, reasoning. (iv) Application domains: natural language processing, information retrieval, recommendation, mining of web of data and of social networks, etc
