An FCA-based Boolean Matrix Factorisation for Collaborative Filtering
P. 57–73.
We propose a new approach for Collaborative ltering which is based on Boolean Matrix Factorisation (BMF) and Formal Concept Analysis. In a series of experiments on real data (Movielens dataset) we compare the approach with the SVD- and NMF-based algorithms in terms of Mean Average Error (MAE). One of the experimental con- sequences is that it is enough to have a binary-scaled rating data to obtain almost the same quality in terms of MAE by BMF than for the SVD-based algorithm in case of non-scaled data.

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. ...

The eleven preceding editions of the FCA4AI Workshop showed that many researchers working in Articial Intelligence are deeply interested in a well-founded method for classication and data mining such as Formal Concept Analysis (see https://upriss.github.io/fca/fca.html).
The FCA4AI Workshop Series started with ECAI 2012 (Montpellier) and the last edition was co-located with IJCAI 2023 (Macao, China). The ...

The rapid digitalization of all spheres of society has led to the transformation in the digital environment of existing human and civil rights and freedoms. Digitalization can not only change the specifics and conditions for the realization of basic rights, but also, and more importantly, affect their content, giving rights and freedoms a new (additional) ...

In this paper, we present a natural implementation of singular value decomposition (SVD) and polar decomposition of an arbitrary multivector in nondegenerate real and complexified Clifford geometric algebras of arbitrary dimension and signature. The new theorems involve only operations in geometric algebras and do not involve matrix operations. We naturally define these and other related ...

Rule Learning and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) are two fields of science that study similar topic yet speak in a very different terms. This paper describes rule-based machine learning models with FCA-based terminology which results in decision quiver model. A decision quiver, discussed in the paper, is a supervised machine learning model that is based ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this paper, we describe versions of triclustering algorithms adapted for efficient calculations in distributed environments with MapReduce model or parallelisation mechanism provided by modern programming languages. OAC-family of triclustering algorithms shows good parallelisation capabilities due to the independent processing of triples of a triadic formal context. We provide time and space complexity of the ...

Studies on Explainable Artificial Intelligence show that a model should be small in order to be human understandable. The restriction on the size of a model drastically reduces the space of possible solutions. Many rule learning models still rely on greedy algorithms for generating ensembles of decision trees. This paper discusses FCA-inspired mathematical and engineering ...

Ensembles of decision trees, like Random Forests are efficient machine learning models with state-of-the-art prediction quality. However, their predictions are much less transparent than those of a single decision tree. In this paper, we describe a prediction model based on a single decision tree in terms of Formal Concept Analysis. We define a differential way ...
