We describe a general theory for deriving concepts, and discuss 2 special cases: the vector model and the set model. The vector model leads to concepts derived by latent semantic indexing using the singular value decomposition. The set model leads to Formal Concept Analysis. We discuss the relation between the...

After critically reviewing the standard characterizations, I provid...
