Computing Bonds Between Formal Contexts

Abstract

The notion of bond was introduced as a technique to aggregate information from multiple datasets without modifying the information already present in each of the datasets. This notion has been extended to several fuzzy frameworks, including the residuated lattice setting, which we also consider in this paper. While most studies on bonds have emphasized their role in aggregating contexts, relatively little attention has been given to how they can be effectively computed. In this paper, we address this gap by introducing algorithms to compute all bonds between two contexts in both the classical and residuated lattice setting.
