Scalable performance of FCbO update algorithm on museum data
conference contribution

These interaction approaches rely on performant algorithms that can generate conceptual neighbourhoods based on a single formal concept, or incrementally compute and update a set of formal concepts given changes to a formal context. Using case studies based on content from museum collections, this paper describes the scalability limitations of existing interaction approaches and presents an implementation and evaluation of the FCbO update algorithm as a means of updating formal concepts from large and dynamically changing museum datasets.
