Using concept lattices for disjoint clustering

Abstract

Clustering is a well studied problem in data mining. Most clustering research has focused on generating disjoint clusters with a recently increasing interest in overlapping clustering [1, 2]. Concept lattices from Formal Concept Analysis provide a convenient and relatively easy way for over-lapping clustering. On the other hand, disjoint clustering with concept lattices is an open problem. In this paper, we present a solution to this open problem. Our solution uses frequent itemsets from association rule mining.
