Towards Concise Representation for Taxonomies of Epistemic Communities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an application of formal concept analysis aimed at creating and representing a meaningful structure of knowledge communities under the form of a lattice-based taxonomy built upon groups of agents jointly manipulating some notions. The resulting structure is however usually extremely complex, hence uneasy to comprehend. We consider two approaches to build a concise representation respecting the original taxonomy, while hiding uninteresting and superfluous information, using both a pruning strategy based on the notion of concept stability and a representational improvement based on nested line diagrams. We illustrate the method with a small community

Robustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملTaxonomies with Lattice Algebras
In this paper taxonomies are considered to be mathematical lattices. This gives us a \two-edged sword" for describing taxonomies. On the one-hand, we have a concise algebra suitable for speciication of taxonomies, and on the other an order theoretic representation suitable for visual presentation of ontologies. A language based on algebraic lattices is described and given a model-theoretic sema...
متن کاملCompact, evolving community taxonomies using concept lattices
We introduce a formal framework based on formal concept lattices, or Galois lattices, that categorizes epistemic communities automatically and hierarchically, rebuilding a relevant taxonomy in the form of a hypergraph of significant epistemic sub-communities. The longitudinal study of these static pictures makes historical description possible, by capturing epistemological descriptions through ...
متن کاملExploring the Disjunctive Search Space towards Discovering New Exact Concise Representations for Frequent Patterns
Extracting concise representations seems to be a milestone towards the emerging knowledge extraction field. In fact, it is a quite survival reflex towards providing a manageably-sized and reliable knowledge. Thus, we bashfully witness the emergence of a trend towards extracting concise representations, e.g., closed patterns, non-derivable patterns and essential patterns. The essential pattern-b...
متن کاملBoolean Games with Epistemic Goals
We introduce and formally study games in which the goals of players relate to the epistemic states of players in the game. For example, one player might have a goal that another player knows a certain proposition, while another player might have as a goal that a certain player does not know some proposition. The formal model we use to study epistemic games is a variation of the increasingly pop...
