Distances Between Formal Concept Analysis Structures Bazin, Alexandre Kahn, Giacomo Formal Concept Analysis Implication Base Concept Lattice Pattern Mining Ordinal Data Science In this paper, we study the notion of distance between the most important structures of formal concept analysis: formal contexts, concept lattices, and implication bases. We first define three families of Minkowski-like distances between these three structures. We then present experiments showing that the correlations of these distances are low and depend on the distance between formal contexts.
