--FCA4AI-- "What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' Workshop at ECAI 2012
August 27, 2012 (tentative)
Montpellier, France
--------------------------------------------------------------------
=GENERAL=
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA gives rise to versatile data structures such as concept lattices and systems of dependencies (implications) which can be used for a plethora of AI needs, involving learning, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology engineering, as well as information retrieval and text processing. Consequently, FCA and AI are intimately related in terms of the pursued goals and employed methods.
Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around FCA. In particular, a strand of work has emerged that is aimed at extending the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on pattern structures, relational context analysis and exploration-based ontology completion. These extensions are aimed at enabling FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data, from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view but also from the perspective of knowledge representation as employed in, e.g., ontology engineering. All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and open up new chances and challenges for AI activities in the framework of FCA.
Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues:
- How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning), learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language processing, and information retrieval?
- How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new and complex problems in their domain?
=TOPICS OF INTEREST=
The workshop's topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern structures, relational structures.
- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules, itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction, classification and clustering.
- Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge representation and reasoning.
- Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data).
- Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval, visualization and navigation, pattern recognition.
The workshop will include time for audience discussion toward a better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being presented.
