Abstract

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), which is based on ordered lattice theory, is applied to mine association rules from web logs. The discovered knowledge (association rules) can then be used for online applications such as web recommendation and personalization. Experiments showed that FCA generated 60% fewer rules than Apriori, and the rules are comparable in quality according to three objective measures.
