This approach relies on the pragmatic philosophy of Ch.S. Peirce [15] who claims that we can only analyze and argue within restricted contexts where we always rely on pre-knowledge and common sense. The development of Formal Concept Analysis led to the software system TOSCANA, which is presented as a CKDD tool in this paper. TOSCANA is a flexible navigation tool that allows dynamic browsing through and zooming into the data. It supports the exploration of large databases by visualizing conceptual aspects inherent to the data. We want to clarify that CKDD can be understood as a human-centered approach of Knowledge Discovery in Databases.

Many applications, though, provide contexts with quantitative information, telling not just whether an object satisfies an attribute, but also quantifying this satisfaction. Contexts in this form arise as rating matrices in recommender systems, as occurrence matrices in text analysis, as pixel intensity matrices in digital image processing, etc. Such applications have attracted a lot of attention, and several numeric extensions of FCA have been proposed. We propose the framework of proximity sets (proxets), which subsume partially ordered sets (posets) as well as metric spaces. One feature of this approach is that it extracts from quantified contexts quantified concepts, and thus allows full use of the available information. Another feature is that the categorical approach allows analyzing any universal properties that the classical FCA and the new versions may have, and thus provides structural guidance for aligning and combining the approaches.}, address = {Berlin/Heidelberg}, author = {Pavlovic, Dusko}, booktitle = {ICFCA 2012}, editor = {Domenach, F. and Ignatov, D.I. and Poelmans, J.}, ee = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.5802}, interhash = {601aaf1dbcb15e8872109be6f4a1a5d8}, intrahash = {a0c8122fe1a490e82129a24e042b371d}, issn = {0302-9743}, pages = {260--277}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence}, title = {Quantitative Concept Analysis}, volume = 7278, year = 2012 } @inproceedings{doerfel2012publication, abstract = {We present an analysis of the publication and citation networks of all previous editions of the three conferences most relevant to the FCA community: ICFCA, ICCS and CLA.
