Introduction to Formal Concept Analysis and Its Applications in Information Retrieval and Related Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is a tutorial on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and its applications. FCA is an applied branch of Lattice Theory, a mathematical discipline which enables formalisation of concepts as basic units of human thinking and analysing data in the object-attribute form. Originated in early 80s, during the last three decades, it became a popular human-centred tool for knowledge representation and data analysis with numerous applications. Since the tutorial was specially prepared for RuSSIR 2014, the covered FCA topics include Information Retrieval with a focus on visualisation aspects, Machine Learning, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Text Mining and several others.

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic$p>0$, $K[[x]]$, the ring of formal power series over $ K$,$K((x))$, the quotient field of $ K[[x]]$, and $ K(x)$ the fieldof rational functions over $K$. We shall give somecharacterizations of an algebraic function $fin K((x))$ over $K$.Let $L$ be a field of characteristic zero. The power series $finL[[x]]$ is called differentially algebraic, if it satisfies...

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,...
