Concept Lattice: A rough set approach

Abstract

Concept lattice is an efficient tool for knowledge representation and knowledge discovery and is applied to many fields successfully. However, in many real life applications, the problem under investigation cannot be described by formal concepts. Such concepts are called the non-definable concepts. The hierarchical structure of formal concept (called concept lattice) represents a structural information which obtained automatically from the input data table. We deal with the problem in which how further additional information be supplied to utilize the basic object attribute data table. In this paper , we provide rough concept lattice to incorporate the rough set into the concept lattice by using equivalence relation. Some results are established to illustrate the paper.
