Formal Concept Analysis for Knowledge Discovery

Dear colleagues! Due to the concerns surrounding the epidemiological situation, the workshop will be held online via zoom platform.

Formal concepts proved to be of big importance for knowledge discovery, both as a tool for concise representation of association rules and a tool for clustering and constructing taxonomies. The FCA4KD workshop aims at bringing together researchers working on diverse aspects of FCA-based knowledge extraction with the applications to fields like Computer and Information Science, Linguistics, Life and Social Sciences, Bioengineering, Chemistry, etc.

Topics of Interest

Main topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• foundations
• concept lattices and related structures
• attribute implications and data dependencies
• data preprocessing
• redundancy and dimensionality reduction
• information retrieval
• classification
• clustering
• association rules and other data dependencies
• ontologies
