Next Priority Concept: A new and generic algorithm computing concepts from complex and heterogeneous data
P. 1–20.
In this article, we present a new data type agnostic algorithm calculating a concept lattice from heterogeneous and complex data. Our NextPriorityConcept algorithm is first introduced and proved in the binary case as an extension of Bordat's algorithm with the notion of strategies to select only some predecessors of each concept, avoiding the generation of unreasonably large lattices. The algorithm is then extended to any type of data in a generic way. It is inspired from pattern structure theory, where data are locally described by predicates independent of their types, allowing the management of heterogeneous data.

This paper dates back to the asymptotic solutions of Rota’s problem on the size of maximum antichain in the set partition lattice by Canfield and Harper and others. The knowledge of asymptotic coefficients could pave the way to the asymptotic solutions of such problems as (maximal) antichain counting in partition lattices. In addition to our ...

This paper introduces cooperative games with transferable utilities and fuzzy characteristic functions on concept lattices. While previous works have independently addressed games with fuzzy payoffs and games restricted to structured coalition systems such as lattices, our approach combines both perspectives. We consider cooperative settings where coalition formation is constrained by a concept lattice structure, and ...

The linguistic applications of the Lambek calculus suggest its semantics over algebras of formal languages. A straightforward approach to construct such semantics indeed yields a brilliant completeness theorem (Pentus 1995, Ann. Pure Appl. Logic, 75, 179–213). However, extending the calculus with extra operations ruins completeness. In order to mitigate this issue, Wurm (2017, J. Logic Lang. Inf., ...

Inherently explainable Machine Learning (ML) models are able to provide explanations for their predictions by virtue of their construction. The explanations of a ML model are more comprehensible if they are expressed in terms of its input features. Our paper proposes an inherently explainable pipeline for document classification using pattern structures and Abstract Meaning Representation ...

Set partitions and partition lattices are well-known objects in combinatorics and play an important role as a search space in many applied problems including ensemble clustering. Searching for antichains in such lattices is similar to that of in Boolean lattices. Counting the number of antichains in Boolean lattices is known as the Dedekind problem. In ...

This paper presents different versions of classification ensemble methods based on pattern structures. Each of these methods is described and tested on multiple datasets (including datasets with exclusively numerical and exclusively nominal features). As a baseline model Random Forest generation is used. For some classification tasks the classification algorithms based on pattern structures showed better ...

Order and lattice theory provides convenient mathematical tools for pattern mining, in particular for condensed irredundant representations of pattern spaces and their efficient generation. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) offers a generic framework, called pattern structures, to formalize many types of patterns, such as itemsets, intervals, graphs, and sequence sets. Moreover, FCA provides generic algorithms to generate irredundantly all ...
