Abstract

In this paper, we consider two types of preferences from preference logic and propose their interpretation in terms of formal concept analysis. We are concerned only with preferences between sets of attributes, or, viewed logically, between conjunctions of atomic formulas. We provide inference systems for the two types of preferences and study their relation to implications.
