Abstract

One of the most effective methods to deal with large data for data analysis and data mining is to develop parallel algorithm. Although Formal concept analysis is an effective tool for data analysis and knowledge discovery, it’s very hard for concept lattice structures to face the complexity of very large data. So we propose a new parallel algorithm based on the NextClosure algorithm to generate formal concepts for large data.
