Abstract

Concept lattices have been widely used for various purposes in many different applications since the 1980s. Recent applications of Formal Concept Analysis include extensions of traditional FCA applications such as data and text mining, machine learning and knowledge management. Progress has also recently been made in software engineering, Semantic Web and databases. New applications have also emerged in the fields of healthcare, ecology, biology, agronomy, business and social networks. This article presents example of successful applications of FCA for Social Networks Analysis. We show the benefit of FCA solutions, as well as their combination with semantics and topology-based approaches. We conclude by presenting FCA-based visualization solutions and open challenges for FCA in the context of large and dynamic data.
