Abstract

We examine typicality—a significant phenomenon accompanying human concepts—within the framework of formal concept analysis. Our aim is to formalize the notion of typicality within this framework and thus provide an operational definition. We review relevant aspects and main psychological explanations of typicality, and propose a formalization based on a view of typicality propounded in the seminal work by Eleanor Rosch et al. We also provide experimental evaluation of our approach and discuss ramifications of our findings and topics to be explored in the future.
