Régler le processus d'exploration dans l'analyse relationnelle de concepts – Le cas de données hydroécologiques
Abstract
This paper focuses on the exploration of multi-relational datasets, and the various ways
they can be analyzed using relational concept analysis (RCA), a variant of Formal Concept
Analysis. RCA uses several scaling operators that make the process highly tunable, allowing a
high flexibility in the exploration and in the results. Besides, the multiplicity of choices that can
be made when performing an analysis task is potentially overwhelming the expert. We there-
fore propose three overlays for helping users controlling, and foreseeing the results of their
choices. This proposition is exemplified on a dataset about the quality state of watercourses.
