[Коллоквиум]: Formal Concept Analysis: A Useful Example of Modern Mathematics

Speaker: Bernhard Ganter - Technische Universität Dresden We give impressions of a field of research that was started some 30 years ago under the name of “Formal Concept Analysis.” It is a mathematical theory, based on algebraic structures such as complete lattices, with a spectrum of applications in data analysis and knowledge processing Although the theory is advanced and substantial, it finds more attention in computer science than in mathematics. Indeed, the field has some potential for supporting rece
