Introduction to Formal Concept Analysis
Introduction to Formal Concept Analysis
Course with SWS 2/2/0 (lecture/exercise/practical) in WS 2019
The first session will be the lecture on Oct 21, 11:10 - 12:40.
This course is an introduction into formal concept analysis (FCA), a mathematical theory oriented at applications in knowledge representation, knowledge acquisition, data analysis and visualization. It provides tools for understanding the data by representing it as a hierarchy of concepts or, more exactly, a concept lattice. FCA can help in processing a wide class of data types providing a framework in which various data analysis and knowledge acquisition techniques can be formulated. In this course, we focus on some of these techniques, as well as cover the theoretical foundations and algorithmic issues of FCA.
Prerequisites
- basic knowledge of propositional and first-order logic
- some familiarity with computational complexity
