Systems vs. Methods: an Analysis of the Affordances of Formal Concept Analysis for Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review previous work using Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to build Information Retrieval (IR) applications seeking a wider adoption of the FCA paradigm in IR. We conclude that although a number of systems have been built with such paradigm (FCA in IR), the most effective contribution would be to help establish IR on firmer grounds (FCA for IR). Since such an approach is only incipient, we contribute to the general discussion by discussing affordances and challenges of FCA for IR.
