Abstract

A formal context associates to objects a description that combines automatically extracted properties (intrinsic) and manually assigned ones (extrinsic). The extrinsic properties are expressed by users according to intentions that are often subjective and changing, and determine the classification and retrieval of objects. So, we find it important to assist users in this task through the automatic suggestion of extrinsic properties to be assigned and even the discovery of rules to automate these assignements. The principle is to learn from the description of existing objects the extrinsic description of a new object. Because of the changing nature of users’ intentions, the assistance given in the incremental building of a logical context must be interactive. We present formal principles, and an application to the classification of email messages.
