Abstract

This paper provides guidelines and examples for visualising lexical rela- tions using Formal Concept Analysis. Relations in lexical databases often form trees, imperfect trees or poly-hierarchies which can be embedded into concept lattices. Many- to-many relations can be represented as concept lattices where the values from one domain are used as the formal objects and the values of the other domain as formal at- tributes. This paper further discusses algorithms for selecting meaningful subsets of lex- ical databases, the representation of complex relational structures in lexical databases and the use of lattices as basemaps for other lexical relations. Key Words: Formal Concept Analysis, lexical databases, semantic relations Category: I2 .4
