Formal Concept Analysis with Three Types of Negation

Classic Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) primarily focuses on the positive relationships between objects and attributes and does not have mechanisms for handling negation.To overcome this limitation, we introduce three types of negation concepts (contradictory negation, opposite negation, intermediary negation) into FCA.Based on the set SCOI and logic LCOI+PLCOI with these three types negation, we define formal context, Galois connection operators, formal concept and concept lattice with three types of negation,this leads to the proposal of a FCACOI: Formal Concept Analysis with contradictory negation, opposite negation and intermediary negation.For the reasoning in FCACOI, this paper focuse...
