@article{keyhere, abstract = {The theory of concept (or Galois) lattices provides a simple and formal approach to conceptual clustering. In this paper we present GALOIS, a system that automates and applies this theory. The algorithm utilized by GALOIS to build a concept lattice is incremental and efficient, each update being done in time at most quadratic in the number of objects in the lattice. Also, the algorithm may incorporate background information into the lattice, and through clustering, extend the scope of the theory. The application we present is concerned with information retrieval via browsing, for which we argue that concept lattices may represent major support structures. We describe a prototype user interface for browsing through the concept lattice of a document-term relation, possibly enriched with a thesaurus of terms. An experimental evaluation of the system performed on a medium-sized bibliographic database shows good retrieval performance and a significant improvement after the introduction of background knowledge.

Standard partitional or agglomerative clustering methods efficiently compute results to this end. However, the bag of words representation used for these clustering methods is often unsatisfactory as it ignores relationships between important terms that do not co-occur literally. Also, it is mostly left to the user to find out why a particular partitioning has been achieved, because it is only specified extensionally. In order to deal with the two problems, we integrate background knowledge into the process of clustering text documents. First, we preprocess the texts, enriching their representations by background knowledge provided in a core ontology — in our application Wordnet. Then, we cluster the documents by a partitional algorithm. Our experimental evaluation on Reuters newsfeeds compares clustering results with pre-categorizations of news. In the experiments, improvements of results by background knowledge compared to the baseline can be shown for many interesting tasks. Second, the clustering partitions the large number of documents to a relatively small number of clusters, which may then be analyzed by conceptual clustering. In our approach, we applied Formal Concept Analysis. Conceptual clustering techniques are known to be too slow for directly clustering several hundreds of documents, but they give an intensional account of cluster results. They allow for a concise description of commonalities and distinctions of different clusters. With background knowledge they even find abstractions like “food” (vs. specializations like “beef” or “corn”). Thus, in our approach, partitional clustering reduces first the size of the problem such that it becomes tractable for conceptual clustering, which then facilitates the understanding of the results.}, author = {Hotho, Andreas and Staab, Steffen and Stumme, Gerd}, comment = {alpha}, institution = {University of Karlsruhe, Institute AIFB}, interhash = {0bc7c3fc1273355f45c8970a7ea58f97}, intrahash = {61d58db419af0dbc3681432588219c3d}, title = {Text Clustering Based on Background Knowledge}, type = {Technical Report }, url = {http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/stumme/papers/2003/hotho2003text.pdf}, volume = 425, year = 2003 } @inproceedings{hotho02conceptualclustering, author = {Hotho, A. and Stumme, G.}, booktitle = {Proc.
