Lattice Miner is a data mining prototype for creating, visualizing and exploring concept (Galois) lattices. It allows the generation of formal concepts and association rules.

Lattice Miner v2.0

Lattice Miner 2.0 is a data mining prototype developed by the LARIM research laboratory at Université du Québec en Outaouais under the supervision of Professor Rokia Missaoui. It allows the generation of clusters (called formal concepts) and association rules (including logical implications) given a binary relation between a collection of objects (or individuals) and a set of attributes (or properties). The focus of Lattice Miner is on pattern (knowledge) discovery visualization, exploration and approximation through a lattice representation of either a flat or a nested structure.

Lattice Miner is a public-domain Java platform whose main functions include all low-level operations and structures for the representation and manipulation of input data, lattices and association rules. The interface offers a context editor and concept lattice manipulator to assist the user in a set of interactive and targeted data mining tasks. The architecture of Lattice Miner is open and modular enough to allow the integration of new features and facilities.

The latest release called Lattice Miner 2.0 of April 2017 includes the computation of implications with negation, as well as triadic (tridimensional) implication calculation.

For more information about the tool, please contact Professor Rokia Missaoui [e-mail].
