Formal concept analysis lattice generation and query in Python.

Dependencies

• NetworkX
• matplotlib

Usage

For the following context

  | 1   |   2   |   3   |   4   |
--|-----|-------|-------|-------|--
a | 1   |   0   |   1   |   0   |
--|-----|-------|-------|-------|--
b | 1   |   1   |   0   |   1   |
--|-----|-------|-------|-------|--
c | 1   |   0   |   1   |   0   |
--|-----|-------|-------|-------|--
d | 0   |   1   |   0   |   1   |
--|-----|-------|-------|-------|--

First input to the script would be the objects:

a b c d

Second would be the attributes:

1 2 3 4 5

and third input would be the matrix, in row major order. One row per line:

1 0 1 0
1 1 0 1
1 0 1 0
0 1 0 1

A file named lattice.png would be generated containing the representation of the concept lattice. And you can query the concepts i.e. extent for a given intent or intent for a given extent in terminal.
