Abstract
Knowledge discovery is important for systems
that have computational intelligence in helping them learn
and adapt to changing environments. By representing, in
a formal way, the context in which an intelligent system
operates, it is possible to discover knowledge through an
emerging data technology called Formal Concept Analysis
(FCA). This paper describes a tool called FcaBedrock that
converts data into Formal Contexts for FCA. The paper
describes how, through a process of guided automation,
data preparation techniques such as attribute exclusion and
value restriction allow data to be interpreted to meet the requirements
of the analysis. Creating Formal Contexts using
FcaBedrock is shown to be straightforward and versatile.
Large data sets are easily converted into a standard FCA
format.
