Analysis of global data education and patent activity using new methods of pattern analysis
This paper study the world of education data and patent activity for the period of 1979-2006 years using the latest methods of pattern analysis: a linear pattern-classification and ordinal-invariant pattern clustering. Attempt is made to reflect the situation regarding primary, secondary and higher education in 37 countries.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2012, held in Leuven, Belgium in May 2012. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 6 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. The topics covered in this volume range from recent advances in machine learning and data mining; mining terrorist networks and revealing criminals; concept-based process mining; to scalability issues in FCA and rough sets.
In this paper we propose the software system CORDIET-Helthcare which we are currently developing in collaboration with the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Moscow Higher School of Economics and the GZA-hospital group located in Antwerp. The main aim of this system is to offer healthcare management staff a user-friendly and powerful data analysis environment. Using state of the art techniques from computer science and mathematics we show how CORDIET-Helthcare can be used to gain insight in existing care processes and reveal actionable knowledge which can be used to improve the current way of working.

This is a textbook in data analysis. Its contents are heavily influenced by the idea that data analysis should help in enhancing and augmenting knowledge of the domain as represented by the concepts and statements of relation between them. According to this view, two main pathways for data analysis are summarization, for developing and augmenting concepts, and correlation, for enhancing and establishing relations. Visualization, in this context, is a way of presenting results in a cognitively comfortable way. The term summarization is understood quite broadly here to embrace not only simple summaries like totals and means, but also more complex summaries such as the principal components of a set of features or cluster structures in a set of entities.
The material presented in this perspective makes a unique mix of subjects from the fields of statistical data analysis, data mining, and computational intelligence, which follow different systems of presentation.
We describe FCART software system, a universal integrated environment for knowledge and data engineers with a set of research tools based on Formal Concept Analysis. The system is intended for knowledge discovery from big dynamic data collections, including text collections. FCART allows the user to load structured and unstructured data (texts and various metainformation) from heterogeneous data sources, build data snapshots, compose queries, generate and visualize concept lattices, clusters, attribute dependencies, and other useful analytical artifacts. Full preprocessing scenario is considered.
Formal Concept Analysis Research Toolbox (FCART) is an integrated environment for knowledge and data engineers with a set of research tools based on Formal Concept Analysis. FCART allows a user to load structured and unstructured data (including texts with various metadata) from heterogeneous data sources into local data storage, compose scaling queries for data snapshots, and then research classical and some innovative FCA artifacts in analytic sessions.
