Formal Concept Analysis: 14th International Conference, ICFCA 2017, Rennes, France, June 13-16, 2017, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science Book 10308)

This volume presents the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis (ICFCA 2017), held in Rennes, France, from June 13-16, 2017. Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, it features contributions on theoretical and applied aspects of FCA, edited by Karell Bertet, Daniel Borchmann, Peggy Cellier, and Sébastien Ferré. Ideal for researchers in computer science and mathematics exploring lattice-based data analysis.

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematical framework rooted in lattice theory and formal semantics, widely applied in data analysis, knowledge representation, and information retrieval.

The 14th International Conference on FCA (ICFCA 2017) took place in Rennes, France, from June 13 to 16, 2017, bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss theoretical foundations and practical applications of FCA.

This volume, part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (Book 10308), compiles the conference proceedings, including peer-reviewed papers on topics such as concept lattices, implication bases, and algorithmic approaches.

Edited by Karell Bertet, Daniel Borchmann, Peggy Cellier, and Sébastien Ferré, the book serves as a key resource for advancing research in formal methods for knowledge processing and data mining.

ICFCA conferences foster interdisciplinary dialogue, contributing to developments in artificial intelligence, database systems, and software engineering through FCA methodologies.
