Learning Graph Representation via Formal Concept Analysis

Machine Learning 2018-12-11 v1 Machine Learning

Abstract

We present a novel method that can learn a graph representation from multivariate data. In our representation, each node represents a cluster of data points and each edge represents the subset-superset relationship between clusters, which can be mutually overlapped. The key to our method is to use formal concept analysis (FCA), which can extract hierarchical relationships between clusters based on the algebraic closedness property. We empirically show that our method can effectively extract hierarchical structures of clusters compared to the baseline method.
