This paper will be focused on a general fuzzy extension of FCA, called multi-adjoint concept lattice, and we present a study about the attributes generating meet-irreducible elements and on the reducts in this framework. From this study, we introduce interesting results on the cardinality of reducts and the consequences in the classical case.}, organization = {Partially supported by the Spanish Economy and Competitiveness Ministry (MINECO) project TIN2016-76653-P}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Formal concept analysis; Reducts; Attribute reduction}, keywords = {Formal concept analysis}, keywords = {Reducts}, keywords = {Attribute reduction}, title = {Characterizing reducts in multi-adjoint concept lattices}, doi = {10.1016/J.INS.2017.08.099}, author = {Cornejo Piñero, María Eugenia and Medina Moreno, Jesús and Ramírez Poussa, Eloísa}, }
