Automatic Acquisition of Formal Concepts from Text

ion: FC1 Φ FC2, which represents a more generic concept whose intension is the intersection CNTX1 ∩ CNTX2, and the extension the union W1 ∪W2. The clustering method we will describe in the following section makes use of these two operations. The resulting concepts generated by such operations give rise to a concept lattice. The more balanced concepts in that lattice will be the startpoint (i.e., centroids) of a further process: word classification.
