Interactive collaborative exploration using incomplete contexts
Data & Knowledge Engineering(2023)
摘要
A well-known knowledge acquisition method in the field of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is attribute exploration. It is used to reveal dependencies in a set of attributes with help of a domain expert. In most applications no single expert is capable (time- and knowledge-wise) of exploring the knowledge domain alone. However, there is up to now no theory that models the interaction of multiple experts for the task of attribute exploration with incomplete knowledge. To this end, we develop a theoretical framework that allows multiple experts to explore a domain together. We use a representation of incomplete knowledge as three-valued contexts. We then adapt the corresponding version of attribute exploration to fit the setting of multiple experts. We suggest formalizations for key components like expert knowledge, interaction and collaboration strategy. In particular, we define an order that allows to compare the results of different exploration strategies on the same task with respect to their information completeness. Furthermore, we discuss other ways of comparing collaboration strategies and suggest avenues for future research.
