Abstract

In this paper we are applying approximate reasoning methods for extracting conceptual structures from collected data. Stabilities of previously obtained concepts are investigated by removing attributes from the data set. Another search for interesting patterns by build nested lattices and compare the obtained concepts with the ones resulting from applying the first two approaches is also enclosed.
