pyfca - python formal concept analysis

https://github.com/pyfca/pyfca

Python Formal Concept Analysis (FCA).

The purpose is to collect algoritms for FCA.

Algorithms

So far:

lattice construction:

• AddIntent

implications basis:

• Koenig

lattice drawing:

• create lattice diagram and output in

  • svg

  • tkinter

Plan

• Create a basic lattice data structure:

• Merge existing sources available online.

  Lattice construction:

  • FCbO

  • InClose2

  • …

  Implications basis:

  • Closure

  • LinClosure

  • Wild’s Closure

  • …

Usage

It can be used to create a concept lattice and to draw it either using tkinter() or svg().

import pyfca
fca = pyfca.Lattice([{1,2},{2},{1,3}])
diagram = pyfca.LatticeDiagram(fca,4*297,4*210)
diagram.svg().saveas('tmp.svg')
import cairosvg
cairosvg.svg2png(url="file:///<path to tmp.svg>", write_to='tmp.png')

The AddIntent algorithm is from the paper:

AddIntent: A New Incremental Algorithm for Constructing Concept Lattices

The lattice drawing algorithm is from:

Galicia

Implications

This uses the python int as a bit field to store the FCA context.
