Understanding Social Networks Using Formal Concept Analysis

Social networks are very popular nowadays and the understanding of their inner structure seems to be promising area. Several approaches for the social network structure visualization has been proposed and the typical problem is the schematic value of such visualization and the computational complexity of their analysis. This paper propose a method by using the relation between objects, which is reduced and uses as an input to Formal Concept Analysis methods. The proposed method attempts to deal with both mentioned problems.
