TL;DR: This is the first textbook on formal concept analysis that gives a systematic presentation of the mathematical foundations and their relation to applications in computer science, especially in data analysis and knowledge processing.
Abstract: From the Publisher: This is the first textbook on formal concept analysis. It gives a systematic presentation of the mathematical foundations and their relation to applications in computer science, especially in data analysis and knowledge processing. Above all, it presents graphical methods for representing conceptual systems that have proved themselves in communicating knowledge. Theory and graphical representation are thus closely coupled together. The mathematical foundations are treated thoroughly and illuminated by means of numerous examples.

TL;DR: Restructuring lattice theory is an attempt to reinvigorate connections with the authors' general culture by interpreting the theory as concretely as possible, and in this way to promote better communication between lattice theorists and potential users of lattices theory.
Abstract: Lattice theory today reflects the general Status of current mathematics: there is a rich production of theoretical concepts, results, and developments, many of which are reached by elaborate mental gymnastics; on the other hand, the connections of the theory to its surroundings are getting weaker and weaker, with the result that the theory and even many of its parts become more isolated. Restructuring lattice theory is an attempt to reinvigorate connections with our general culture by interpreting the theory as concretely as possible, and in this way to promote better communication between lattice theorists and potential users of lattice theory.

TL;DR: FCA explicitly formalises extension and intension of a concept, their mutual relationships, and the fact that increasing intent implies decreasing extent and vice versa, and allows to derive a concept hierarchy from a given dataset.

TL;DR: The concept image consists of all the cognitive structure in the individual's mind that is associated with a given concept and may have aspects which are quite different from the formal concept definition as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The concept image consists of all the cognitive structure in the individual's mind that is associated with a given concept. This may not be globally coherent and may have aspects which are quite different from the formal concept definition. The development of limits and continuity, as taught in secondary school and university, are considered. Various investigations are reported which demonstrate individual concept images differing from the formal theory and containing factors which cause cognitive conflict.

TL;DR: Experiments showed that Close is very efficient for mining dense and/or correlated data such as census style data, and performs reasonably well for market basket style data.
