Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

On Suboptimality of GreConD for Boolean Matrix Factorisation of Contranominal Scales

P. 87–98.
Ignatov D. I., Yakovleva A.

In this paper we study certain properties of the GreConD algorithm for Boolean matrix factorisation, a popular technique in Data Mining with binary relational data. This greedy algorithm was inspired by the fact that the optimal number of factors for the Boolean matrix factorisation can be chosen among the formal concepts of the correspond- ing formal context. In particular, we consider one of the hardest cases (in terms of the numerous of possible factors), the so-called contranominal scales, and show that the output of GreConD is not optimal in this case. Moreover, we formally analyse its output by means of recurrences and generating functions and provide the reader with the closed form for the returned number of factors. An algorithm generating the optimal num- ber of factors and the corresponding product matrices P and Q is also provided by us for the case of contranominal scales.

Formal Concept Analysis for Evaluating Intrinsic Dimension of a Natural Language
Kuznetsov S., Gromov V., Borodin N. et al., Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2023 P. 331–339
Some results of a computational experiment for determining the intrinsic dimension of linguistic varieties for the Bengali and Russian languages are presented. At the same time, both sets of words and sets of bigrams in these languages were considered separately. The method used to solve this problem was based on formal concept analysis algorithms. It ...

On the Number of Maximal Antichains in Boolean Lattices for 𝑛 up to 7
Ignatov D. I., Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematics 2023 No. 44 P. 137–146
We consider two ways how to compute the number of maximal antichains in the Boolean lattice on 𝑛 elements. The first one is based on full direct enumeration, while the second ones relies on concept lattices or Galois lattices (studied in Formal Concept Analysis, an applied branch of lattice theory) and the Dedekind–MacNeille completion of a partial ...

Intrinsically Interpretable Document Classification via Concept Lattices
Parakal E. G., Kuznetsov S., , in: Proceedings of the 10th International Workshop "What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?"Vol. 3233.: CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2022. Ch. 2 P. 9–22.
Explanations for the predictions made by Machine Learning (ML) models are best framed in terms of abstract, high-level concepts that are easily comprehensible to human beings. The use of such concepts constitutes a subfield of interpretability methods known as concept-based explanations. This work uses concept-based explanations to build an intrinsically interpretable document classifier using a combination of Formal Concept ...

Constellations and τ-functions for rationally weighted hurwitz numbers
Harnad J., Runov B. A., Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincare (D) Combinatorics, Physics and their Interactions 2021 Vol. 8 No. 1 P. 119–158
Weighted constellations give graphical representations of weighted branched coverings of the Riemann sphere. They were introduced to provide a combinatorial inter-pretation of the 2D Toda τ-functions of hypergeometric type serving as generating functions for weighted Hurwitz numbers in the case of polynomial weight generating functions. The product over all vertex and edge weights of a ...

We show that the multivariate generating function of appropriately normalized moments of a measure with homogeneous polynomial density supported on a compact polytope P subset of R-d is a rational function. Its denominator is the product of linear forms dual to the vertices of P raised to the power equal to the degree of the ...

We consider a cooperative game based on a network in which nodes represent players and the characteristic function is defined using a maximal covering by the pairs of connected nodes. Problems of this form arise in many applications such as mobile communications, patrolling, logistics and sociology. The Owen value, which describes the significance of each node in the network, ...

Topology of nerves and formal concepts
Ayzenberg A., / Series arXiv "math". 2019.
The general goal of this paper is to gather and review several methods from homotopy and combinatorial topology and formal concepts analysis (FCA) and analyze their connections. FCA appears naturally in the problem of combinatorial simplification of simplicial complexes and allows to see a certain duality on a class of simplicial complexes. This duality generalizes ...

Cluster assessment remains one of the most actual problems in data mining. In this paper, a new approach to the selection of clusters based on a combination of measures of cluster quality is proposed. The new approach incorporates easily expert understanding of “interestingness” of clusters and does not require pre-defined parameters and thresholds. The subset ...
