A categorical view at generalized concept lattices

Stanislav Krajči

Abstract:

We continue in the direction of the ideas from the Zhang's paper \cite{Z} about a relationship between Chu spaces and Formal Concept Analysis. We modify this categorical point of view at a classical concept lattice to a generalized concept lattice (in the sense of Krajči \cite{K1}): We define generalized Chu spaces and show that they together with (a special type of) their morphisms form a category. Moreover we define corresponding modifications of the image / inverse image operator and show their commutativity properties with mapping defining generalized concept lattice as fuzzifications of Zhang's ones.
