چکیده

In this paper, we present an application for formal concept analysis (FCA) by showing how it can help construct a semantic map for a lexical typological study. We show that FCA captures typological regularities, so that concept lattices automatically built from linguistic data appear to be even more informative than traditional semantic maps. While sometimes this informativeness causes unreadability of a map, in other cases, it opens up new perspectives in the field, such as the opportunity to analyze the relationship between direct and figurative lexical meanings.

Conceptual and Spatial Footprints for Complex Systems Analysis: Application to the Semantic Web

This paper advocates the use of Formal Concept Analysis and Galois lattices for complex systems analysis. This method provides an overview of a system by indicating its main areas of interest as well as its level of specificity/generality. Moreover, it proposes possible entry points for navigation by identifying the most significant elements of the system. Automatic filtering of outliers is als...

The concept lattice functors

This paper is concerned with the relationship between contexts, closure spaces, and complete lattices. It is shown that, for a unital quantale L, both formal concept lattices and property oriented concept lattices are functorial from the category L-Ctx of L-contexts and infomorphisms to the category L-Sup of complete L-lattices and suprema-preserving maps. Moreover, the formal concept lattice f...

Concept Lattices as a Formal Method for the Integration of Geographic Ontologies

In order to achieve information exchange between different geographic databases, it is necessary to develop suitable methods for formally defining and representing geographic knowledge. Different conceptualizations and categorizations of geographic concepts complicate the problem of semantic data association. Semantic differences occur and raise problems when ontologies from heterogeneous conte...

An FCA Framework for Knowledge Discovery in SPARQL Query Answers

Formal concept analysis (FCA) is used for knowledge discovery within data. In FCA, concept lattices are very good tools for classification and organization of data. Hence, they can also be used to visualize the answers of a SPARQL query instead of the usual answer formats such as: RDF/XML, JSON, CSV, and HTML. Consequently, in this work, we apply FCA to reveal and visualize hidden relations wit...

An Application of Formal Concept Analysis to Neural Decoding

This paper proposes a novel application of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to neural decoding: the semantic relationships between the neural representations of large sets of stimuli are explored using concept lattices. In particular, the effects of neural code sparsity are modelled using the lattices. An exact Bayesian approach is employed to construct the formal context needed by FCA. This metho...
