Attribute Granules in Formal Contexts

  • Conference paper
Rough Sets, Fuzzy Sets, Data Mining and Granular Computing (RSFDGrC 2007)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4482))

Abstract

Granular computing is a basic issue in knowledge representation and data mining. In this paper, the concept of attribute granules in formal contexts is introduced. The mathematical structure of attribute granules is investigated.
