This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2013, held in Dresden, Germany, in May 2013. The 15 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. The papers present current research from a thriving theoretical community and a rapidly expanding range of applications in information and knowledge processing including data visualization and analysis (mining), knowledge management, as well as Web semantics, and software engineering. In addition the book contains a reprint of the first publication in english describing the seminal stem-base construction by Guigues and Duquenne; and a position paper pointing out potential future applications of FCA.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2010, held in Agadir, Morocco, in March 2010. The 17 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited lectures and a reprint of a historical paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers comprise state of the art research and present new results in applied lattice and order theory, and in particular advances in theory and applications of Formal Concept Analysis. These results range from theoretical novelties to advances in FCA-related algorithmic issues, as well as application domains of FCA such as data visualization, information retrieval, machine learning, data analysis and knowledge management.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2011, held in Nicosia, Cyprus, in May 2011. The 16 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The central theme was the mathematical formalization of concept and conceptual hierarchy. The field has developed into a constantly growing research area in its own right with a thriving theoretical community and an increasing number of applications in data and knowledge processing including disciplines such as data visualization, information retrieval, machine learning, software engineering, data analysis, data mining, social networks analysis, etc.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, AIME 2013, held in Murcia, Spain, in May/June 2013. The 43 revised full and short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: decision support, guidelines and protocols; semantic technology; bioinformatics; machine learning; probabilistic modeling and reasoning; image and signal processing; temporal data visualization and analysis; and natural language processing.
Managing vagueness/fuzziness is starting to play an important role in Semantic Web research, with a large number of research efforts underway. Foundations of Fuzzy Logic and Semantic Web Languages provides a rigorous and succinct account of the mathematical methods and tools used for representing and reasoning with fuzzy information within Semantic
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems, RR 2012, held in Vienna, Austria, in September 2012. The 27 revised research papers, presented together with 2 invited talks and 5 research summaries were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections on technical communications, algorithms, design aspects of rule markup, design of ontology languages, engineering of engines, translators, and other tools, standardization efforts, such as the Rules Interchange Format activity at W3C, and applications.
The role of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in fields as diverse as medicine, economics, linguistics, logical analysis and industry continues to grow in scope and importance. AI has become integral to the effective functioning of much of the technical infrastructure we all now take for granted as part of our daily lives. This book presents the papers from the 21st biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, ECAI 2014, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in August 2014. The ECAI conference remains Europe's principal opportunity for researchers and practitioners of Artificial Intelligence to gather and to discuss the latest trends and challenges in all subfields of AI, as we...
The discipline of formal concept analysis (FCA) is concerned with the form- ization of concepts and conceptual thinking. Built on the solid foundation of lattice and order theory, FCA is ?rst and foremost a mathematical discipline. However,its motivation andguiding principles arebasedon strongphilosophical underpinnings. In practice, FCA provides a powerful framework for the qua- tative, formal analysis of data, as demonstrated by numerous applications in diverse areas. Likewise, it emphasizes the aspect of human-centered information processing by employing visualization techniques capable of revealing inherent structure in data in an intuitively graspable way. FCA thereby contributes to str...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2017, held in Rennes, France, in June 2017. The 13 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The book also contains an invited contribution and a historical paper translated from German and originally published in “Die Klassifkation und ihr Umfeld”, edited by P. O. Degens, H. J. Hermes, and O. Opitz, Indeks-Verlag, Frankfurt, 1986. The field of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) originated in the 1980s in Darmstadt as a subfield of mathematical order theory, with prior developments in other research groups. Its original motivation was to consider complete lattices as lattices of concepts, drawing motivation from philosophy and mathematics alike. FCA has since then developed into a wide research area with applications much beyond its original motivation, for example in logic, data mining, learning, and psychology.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2015, held in Neja, Spain, in June 2015. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The topics in this volume cover theoretical aspects of FCA; methods and applications of FCA to different fields and enhanced FCA that show new trends in FCA, for instance, pattern structures of fuzzy FCA.
