A Novel Concept Acquisition Approach Based on Formal Contexts

الملخص EN

As an important tool for data analysis and knowledge processing, formal concept analysis (FCA) has been applied to many fields.

In this paper, we introduce a new method to find all formal concepts based on formal contexts.

The amount of intents calculation is reduced by the method.

And the corresponding algorithm of our approach is proposed.

The main theorems and the corresponding algorithm are examined by examples, respectively.

At last, several real-life databases are analyzed to demonstrate the application of the proposed approach.

Experimental results show that the proposed approach is simple and effective.
