FCA interpretation of relation algebra. (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Priss, U. (2006). FCA interpretation of relation algebra. . https://doi.org/10.1007/11671404_17

This paper discusses an interpretation of relation algebra and fork algebra with respect to FCA contexts. In this case, "relation algebra" refers to the DeMorgan-Peirce-Schroeder-Tarski algebra and not to the "relational algebra" as described by Codd...

Linguistic applications of formal concept analysis. (2005)
Book Chapter
Priss, U. (2005). Linguistic applications of formal concept analysis. In B. Ganter, G. Stumme, & R. Wille (Eds.), Formal Concept Analysis, Foundations and Applications (149-160). Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/11528784_8

Formal concept analysis as a methodology of data analysis and knowledge representation has potential to be applied to a variety of linguistic problems. First, linguistic applications often involve the identification and analysis of features, such as... Read More about Linguistic applications of formal concept analysis..

Conceptual exploration of semantic mirrors. (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2005). Conceptual exploration of semantic mirrors.

The "Semantic Mirrors Method" (Dyvik, 1998) is a means for automatic derivation of thesaurus entries from a word-aligned parallel corpus. The method is based on the construction of lattices of linguistic features. This paper models the Semantic Mirro... Read More about Conceptual exploration of semantic mirrors..

Modelling lexical databases with formal concept analysis. (2004)
Journal Article
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2004). Modelling lexical databases with formal concept analysis. Journal of universal computer science J. UCS, 10, 967-984. https://doi.org/10.3217/jucs-010-08-0967

This paper provides guidelines and examples for visualising lexical relations using Formal Concept Analysis. Relations in lexical databases often form trees, imperfect trees or poly-hierarchies which can be embedded into concept lattices. Many-to-man...

Formalizing botanical taxonomies. (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Priss, U. (2003). Formalizing botanical taxonomies. . https://doi.org/10.1007/b11835

Because botanical taxonomies are prototypical classifications it would seem that it should be easy to formalize them as concept lattices or type hierarchies. On closer inspection, however, one discovers that such a formalization is quite challenging... Read More about Formalizing botanical taxonomies..
