Formal concept analysis : 9th international conference, ICFCA 2011, Nicosia, Cyprus, May 2-6, 2011 : proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2011, held in Nicosia, Cyprus, in May 2011. The 16 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The central theme was the mathematical formalization of concept and conceptual hierarchy. The field has developed into a constantly growing research area in its own right with a thriving theoretical community and an increasing number of applications in data and knowledge processing including disciplines such as data visualization, information retrieval, machine learning, software engineering, data analysis, data mining, social networks analysis, etc. Front Matter....Pages - Inductive Databases and Constraint-Based Data Mining....Pages 1-17 What’s Happening in Semantic Web....Pages 18-23 Galois Connections in Axiomatic Aggregation....Pages 24-25 Backing Composite Web Services Using Formal Concept Analysis....Pages 26-41 Enumerating Minimal Hypotheses and Dualizing Monotone Boolean Functions on Lattices....Pages 42-48 Border Algorithms for Computing Hasse Diagrams of Arbitrary Lattices....Pages 49-64 Selecting Important Concepts Using Weights....Pages 65-80 Some Complexity Results about Essential Closed Sets....Pages 81-92 A Context-Based Description of the Doubly Founded Concept Lattices in the Variety Generated by M 3 ....Pages 93-106 Factorization with Hierarchical Classes Analysis and with Formal Concept Analysis....Pages 107-118 Gene Expression Array Exploration Using $\mathcal{K}$ -Formal Concept Analysis....Pages 119-134 Biclustering Numerical Data in Formal Concept Analysis....Pages 135-150 Object Configuration Browsing in Relational Databases....Pages 151-166 On Factorization of Concept Lattices by Incompatible Tolerances....Pages 167-182 Merging Ordered Sets....Pages 183-203 Mining Triadic Association Rules from Ternary Relations....Pages 204-218 The Agree Concept Lattice for Multidimensional Database Analysis....Pages 219-234 Abstract Concept Lattices....Pages 235-250 Exploring the Information Space of Cultural Collections Using Formal Concept Analysis....Pages 251-266 Back Matter....Pages - The papers present current research from a thriving theoretical community and a rapidly expanding range of applications in information and knowledge processing including data visualization and analysis (mining), knowledge management, as well as Web semantics, and software engineering.
