Analyzing Social Networks Services Using FormalConcept Analysis Research Toolbox
Ch. 5. P. 43–54.
Nowadays social data analysts use a complicated mix of languages, methods and technologies for analyzing social networks services (SNS) data. In this article we describe approaches and technologies for extracting, analyzing and visualizing social data using Formal Concept Analysis Research Toolbox (FCART). Integrated process of analyzing SNS data with a set of research tools based on Formal Concept Analysis is considered with examples on datasets from Russian segment of LiveJournal.

In Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), concept reduction serves as an important means of simplification. The application scenarios of concept reduction cover various aspects such as data mining, knowledge discovery, strategic decision-making, and rule learning. For symmetric formal contexts, a specialized class of concept reduction exists that can fully recover all knowledge. However, most existing concept ...

Clustering aims at finding disjoint groups of similar objects in data and is one major task in Machine Learning. It is also gaining more attention in Formal Concept Analysis community in these last years. This paper proposes an original approach to the clustering of complex data based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and Pattern Structures. ...

This paper presents a novel approach to predicting student dropout by analyzing publicly available data from VKontakte social network profiles. Unlike traditional methods that primarily rely on academic and institutional data, our method leverages publicly available content, including photos, videos, music preferences, and textual posts. Image and video content were analyzed using scene recognition models ...

Purpose
We analyzed the structure of a community of authors working in the field of social network analysis (SNA) based on citation indicators: direct citation and bibliographic coupling metrics. We observed patterns at the micro, meso, and macro levels of analysis.
Design/methodology/approach
We used bibliometric network analysis, including the “temporal quantities” approach proposed to study temporal networks. Using ...

In this paper, the authors propose a new methodology to analyze the dynamics of large-scale online network structures caused by significant exogenous shocks (foreign policy crises and the onset of military conflicts). The focus is on diagnosing cohesion or polarization processes. On the first step, mechanisms at the micro-level that may lead to consolidation or ...

In this paper we introduce and study description quivers as compact representations of concept lattices and respective ensembles of decision trees. Formally, description quivers are directed multigraphs where vertices represent concept intents and (multiple) edges represent generators of intents. We study some properties of description quivers and shed light on their use for describing state-of-the-art symbolic machine ...
