In order to perform an interactive data-mining for huge image databases efficiently, a visualization interface based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is proposed. The proposed interface system provides an intuitive lattice structure enabling users freely and easily to select FCA attributes and to view different aspects of the Hasse diagram of the lattice of a given image database. The investigation environment is implemented using C++ and the OpenCV library on a personal computer (CPU = 2.13 GHz, MM = 2 GB). In visualization experiments using 1,000 Corel Image Gallery images, we test image features such as color, edge, and face detectors as FCA attributes. Experimental analysis confirms the effectiveness of the proposed interface and its potential as an efficient datamining tool.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a well-known supervised boolean data-mining technique rooted in Lattice and Order Theory, that has several extensions to, e.g., fuzzy and idempotent semirings. At the heart of FCA lies a Galois connection between two powersets. In this paper we extend the FCA formalism to include all four Galois connections between four different semivectors spaces over idempotent semifields, at the same time. The result is K¯-four-fold Formal Concept Analysis (K¯-4FCA) where K¯ is the idempotent semifield biasing the analysis. Since complete idempotent semifields come in dually-ordered pairs—e.g., the complete max-plus and min-plus semirings—the basic construction shows dual-order-, row–column- and Galois-connection-induced dualities that appear simultaneously a number of times to provide the full spectrum of variability. Our results lead to a fundamental theorem of K¯-four-fold Formal Concept Analysis that properly defines quadrilattices as 4-tuples of (order-dually) isomorphic lattices of vectors and discuss its relevance vis-à-vis previous formal conceptual analyses and some affordances of their results.

The need to securely share information among collaborating entities is increasingly becoming important. It often needed to implement access control (AC) models. The objective of this paper is to design access control policy using formal concept analysis, which is based on mathematical lattice and order theory. We provide discussion on how FCA can be used to capture RBAC constraints. We show with FCA, we can express more intend constrains than it can be done in traditional RBAC approach. The experimental results show that the approach is more resilient to dynamic computer environment.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) has been proven to be an effective method of restructuring complete lattices and various algebraic domains. In this paper, the notion of contractive mappings over formal contexts is proposed, which can be viewed as a generalization of interior operators on sets into the framework of FCA. Then, by considering subset-selections consistent with contractive mappings, the notions of attribute continuous formal contexts and continuous concepts are introduced. It is shown that the set of continuous concepts of an attribute continuous formal context forms a continuous domain, and every continuous domain can be restructured in this way. Moreover, the notion of F-morphisms is identified to produce a category equivalent to that of continuous domains with Scott continuous functions. The paper also investigates the representations of various subclasses of continuous domains including algebraic domains and stably continuous semilattices.
