Abstract
This online course is an introduction into formal concept analysis (FCA). It will provide you with tools for understanding the data by representing it as a hierarchy of concepts or, more exactly, a concept lattice. You will learn some of data analysis and knowledge acquisition techniques, as well as the theoretical foundations of formal concept analysis. The course also covers FCA-based approaches to clustering and dependency mining.
Prerequisites are basic knowledge of elementary set theory, propositional logic, and probability theory.
