Formal Concept Analysis of Social Networks

Know about the book -

Formal Concept Analysis of Social Networks is written by Rokia Missaoui and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3319641670 (ISBN 10) and 9783319641676 (ISBN 13).

The book studies the existing and potential connections between Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) by showing how standard SNA techniques, usually based on graph theory, can be supplemented by FCA methods, which rely on lattice theory. The book presents contributions to the following areas: acquisition of terminological knowledge from social networks, knowledge communities, individuality computation, other types of FCA-based analysis of bipartite graphs (two-mode networks), multimodal clustering, community detection and description in one-mode and multi-mode networks, adaptation of the dual-projection approach to weighted bipartite graphs, extensions to the Kleinberg's HITS algorithm as well as attributed graph analysis.
