Abstract
Attribute exploration is a formal concept analytical tool for knowledge discovery by interactive determination of the implications holding between a given set of attributes. The corresponding algorithm queries the user in an efficient way about the implications between the attributes. The result of the exploration process is a representative set of examples for the entire theory and a set of implications from which all implications that hold between the considered attributes can be deduced. The method was successfully applied in different real-life applications for discrete data. In many instances, the user may know some implications before the exploration starts. These are considered as background knowledge and their usage shortens the exploration process. In this paper we show that the handling of background information can be generalised to the fuzzy setting.
