“…Nominal, many-valued, attributes are converted into as many boolean attributes as they have values and continuous/ ordinal attributes are hierarchically scaled or discretized as disjoint ranges of values. These processes are key to conducting FCA on data sets, and have been successfully applied, in a bespoke manner, to data in a number of problem domains, including crime detection (Poelmans et al, 2010;Poelmans et al, 2011), classification (Eklund, 2010), linguistics (Falk, 2010), and gene expression (Kaytoue et al, 2008). However, important issues provide barriers towards wider, more general, applicability and adoption of FCA.…”
