Context-based sum via multi-adjoint bonds
Abstract
In many situations is fundamental to use a procedure to aggregate information obtained from different sources (devices), such as when an edge computing system is used. Bonds were introduced in formal concept analysis as an aggregation method for linking different contexts (datasets) whilst preserving the information they contain. In this paper, we generalize the notion of bond to the multi-adjoint concept lattice framework, which is a fuzzy and flexible extension of formal concept analysis. Furthermore, we study several properties of multi-adjoint bonds defined by the constantly top or constantly bottom relations, with an emphasis on how they aggregate the information in the concept lattices.
