Concept neighbourhoods in knowledge organisation systems. (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2010). Concept neighbourhoods in knowledge organisation systems. In C. Gnoli, & F. Mazzocchi (Eds.), Paradigms and conceptual systems in knowledge organization

This paper discusses the application of concept neighbourhoods (in the sense of Formal Concept Analysis) to Knowledge Organisation Systems. Examples are provided using Roget’s Thesaurus, WordNet and Wikipedia categories

Concept Neighbourhoods in Lexical Databases (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2010). Concept Neighbourhoods in Lexical Databases. In L. Kwuida, & B. Sertkaya (Eds.), Formal Concept Analysis (283-295). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-11928-6_20

This paper discusses results from an experimental study of concept neighbourhoods in WordNet and Roget’s Thesaurus. The general aim of this research is to determine ways in which neighbourhood lattices can be derived in real time from a lexical data... Read More about Concept Neighbourhoods in Lexical Databases.

An application of formal concept analysis to semantic neural decoding. (2009)
Journal Article
Endres, D., Foldiak, P., & Priss, U. (2009). An application of formal concept analysis to semantic neural decoding. Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 57, 233-248. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10472-010-9196-8

This paper proposes a novel application of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to neural decoding: the semantic relationships between the neural representations of large sets of stimuli are explored using concept lattices. In particular, the effects of neu... Read More about An application of formal concept analysis to semantic neural decoding..

The semantic structure of Roget’s Thesaurus cross-references. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Old, L. J. (2009). The semantic structure of Roget’s Thesaurus cross-references. In U. Priss, & G. Angelova (Eds.), Conceptual Structures for Extracting Natural Language Semantics

This study analyzed a database version of Roget’s Thesaurus (Roget’s International Thesaurus, 3rd Edition, 1962) for connectivity patterns among cross-references in order to identify the implicit conceptual structure. Semantic patterns implicit in th... Read More about The semantic structure of Roget’s Thesaurus cross-references..

The FcaFlint software for relation algebra operations on FCA contexts. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Priss, U. (2009). The FcaFlint software for relation algebra operations on FCA contexts. In Conceptual Structures Tool Interoperability Workshop (13-23)

FcaFlint is a tool that implements context operations for FCA formal contexts. It is part of the FcaStone package. This paper provides an introduction to Relation Algebra operations as used by FcaFlint and discusses the commandline interface and i...

Relation algebra operations on formal contexts (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Priss, U. (2009). Relation algebra operations on formal contexts. In S. Rudolph, F. Dau, & S. O. Kutznetsov (Eds.), Conceptual Structures: Leveraging Semantic Technologies (257-269). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-03079-6_20

This paper discusses the use of relation algebra operations on formal contexts. These operations are a generalisation of some of the context operations that are described in the standard FCA textbook (Ganter & Wille, 1999). This paper extends previou...

Revisiting the potentialities of a mechanical thesaurus. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2009). Revisiting the potentialities of a mechanical thesaurus. In R. Ferre (Ed.), Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA (284-298). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-01815-2_21

This paper revisits the lattice-based thesaurus models which Margaret Masterman used for machine translation in the 1950’s and 60’s. Masterman’s notions are mapped onto modern, Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) terminology and three of her thesaurus algo... Read More about Revisiting the potentialities of a mechanical thesaurus..

Bilingual word association networks. (2007)
Book Chapter
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2007). Bilingual word association networks. In U. Priss, S. Polovina, & R. Hill (Eds.), Conceptual Structures: Knowledge Architectures for Smart Applications (310-320). Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-73681-3_23

Bilingual word association networks can be beneficial as a tool in foreign language education because they show relationships among cognate words of different languages and correspond to structures in the mental lexicon. This paper discusses possib... Read More about Bilingual word association networks..
