Formal Concept Analysis in Knowledge Discovery: A Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we analyze the literature on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) using FCA. We collected 702 papers published between 2003-2009 mentioning Formal Concept Analysis in the abstract. We developed a knowledge browsing environment to support our literature analysis process. The pdf-files containing the papers were converted to plain text and indexed by Lucene using a thesaurus containing terms related to FCA research. We use the visualization capabilities of FCA to explore the literature, to discover and conceptually represent the main research topics in the FCA community. As a case study, we zoom in on the 140 papers on using FCA in knowledge discovery and data mining and give an extensive overview of the contents of this literature.

New Applications of Formal Concept Analysis: A Need for Original Pattern Domains
We survey the results obtained by our research group (joint work with Jérémy Besson and Löıc Cerf, Kim-Ngan T. Nguyen, Marc Plantevit, and Céline Robardet) concerning the design of pattern domains to support knowledge discovery and information retrieval in arbitrary n-ary relations. Our contribution is related to Formal Concept Analysis and its recent developments in direction of, for instance,...
متن کاملEfficient Mining of Association Rules Based on Formal Concept Analysis
Association rules are a popular knowledge discovery technique for warehouse basket analysis. They indicate which items of the warehouse are frequently bought together. The problem of association rule mining has first been stated in 1993. Five years later, several research groups discovered that this problem has a strong connection to Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). In this survey, we will first ...
متن کاملKnowledge discovery in data using formal concept analysis and random projections
In this paper our objective is to propose a random projections based formal concept analysis for knowledge discovery in data. We demonstrate the implementation of the proposed method on two real world healthcare datasets. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematical framework that offers a conceptual knowledge representation through hierarchical conceptual structures called concept lattices....
