Abstract
There have been several pioneering approaches to the extraction of attribute implications from a formal context, dating from the 1980's: the one of Guigues and Duquenne based on so-called non-redundancy nodes, another one proposed by Ganter highlighting the concept of pseudo-closed set, and the best-known one relying on the recursive computation of so-called pseudo-intents in the book by Ganter and Wille. The Guigues and Duquenne approach has never been compared in detail in the literature with the other two, although they turn out to be equivalent. This paper tries to fill this gap, proposing a unified view, hopefully more easy to grasp.
期刊介绍:
Informatics and Computer Science Intelligent Systems Applications is an esteemed international journal that focuses on publishing original and creative research findings in the field of information sciences. We also feature a limited number of timely tutorial and surveying contributions.
Our journal aims to cater to a diverse audience, including researchers, developers, managers, strategic planners, graduate students, and anyone interested in staying up-to-date with cutting-edge research in information science, knowledge engineering, and intelligent systems. While readers are expected to share a common interest in information science, they come from varying backgrounds such as engineering, mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, cell biology, molecular biology, management science, cognitive science, neurobiology, behavioral sciences, and biochemistry.
