FcaKit is Swift library implementing Formal Concept Analysis data mining method. It works with macOS, iOS and Linux.
Formal concept analysis (FCA) is a principled way of deriving a concept hierarchy or formal ontology from a collection of objects and their properties. Each concept in the hierarchy represents the objects sharing some set of properties; and each sub-concept in the hierarchy represents a subset of the objects (as well as a superset of the properties) in the concepts above it. The term was introduced by Rudolf Wille in 1980, and builds on the mathematical theory of lattices and ordered sets that was developed by Garrett Birkhoff and others in the 1930s.

Benchamrks can be found here.
You can build FcaKit using Xcode. If you are Linux user you can use Swift Package Manager to build.
swift build -c release
You can use FcaKit library in your Swift package. Add FcaKit as dependency as in the following example.
// swift-tools-version:5.1
// The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package.
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "Application",
platforms: [ .macOS(.v10_12), ], // This line is necessary.
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/rvyjidacek/FcaKit.git", from: "1.0.0"),
],
targets: [
.target(
name: "Application",
dependencies: ["FcaKit"]), // Add FcaKit as dependecy here
.testTarget(
name: "ApplicationTests",
dependencies: ["Application", "FcaKit"]), // Add FcaKit as dependecy here
]
)
When you add dependency you have to update your package using:
swift package update
This command builds FcaKit for release and executable binary you can find in .build/release/fca. Also you can user prepared script called build which builds FcaKit and move binary to current folder.
// Initialize an empty bitset of given size. Size is maximal number which a set can contain.
let a = BitSet(size: 100)
// You can also create a bitset with values
BitSet(size: 100, values: [1, 2, 3, 5, 19]) // array
BitSet(size: 100, values: 0..<50) // range
let a = BitSet(size: 10, values: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
let b = BitSet(size: 10, values: 0..<10)
// Intersection
a.intersection(with: a)
a &= b
let c = a.intersected(b)
let d = a & b
// Union
a.union(with: a)
a |= b
let c = a.unioned(b)
let d = a | b
// Difference
a.difference(b)
a -= b
let c = a - b
Is tuple ⟨X, Y, I⟩ where X is set of object, Y is set of attributes and I ⊆ X ⨉ Y and if for x ∈ X and y ∈ Y we have ⟨x, y⟩ ∈ I we say that object x has and attibute y. In each formal context we have concept forming operators ↑ and ↓ where: for A ⊆ X and B ⊆ Y we have A↑ = { y ∈ Y | x ∈ A and ⟨x, y⟩ ∈ I } B↓ = { x ∈ X | y ∈ B and ⟨x, y⟩ ∈ I }
// Initialization with values
let context = FormalContext(values: [[1, 1, 1], [1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 0]])
// Get common attributes for objects 1 and 3
let attributes = context.up(objects: BitSet(size: 4, values: [1, 3])) // {0}
// Attributes for object 0
let y = context.up(object: 0) // {0, 1, 2}
// Get Get objects with attributes 2 and 3
let objects = context.down(attributes: BitSet(size: 3, values: [2, 3])) // {0, 1, 2}
// Objects with attribute 0
let x = context.down(attribute: 0) // {0, 1}
// Compute closure
let closure1 = context.upAndDown(objects: BitSet(size: 4, values: [1, 3])) // {0, 1, 3}
let closure2 = context.downAndUp(attributes: BitSet(size: 3, values: [2, 3])) // {2}
Formal concept is 2-tuple ⟨A, B⟩ where A is set of objects and B is set of attributes and following holds A↑ = B and B↓ = A
For computing concepts of some formal context we have many algorithms. Implemented algorithms can be found in section Implemented Algorithms. Super class of all agorithms is FcaAlgorithm and this class has method count. So you only crreate and Formal Context and pass this one to method count of some algorithm.
let context = // Get formal context for example from csv file
let algorithm = FCbO() // Create an instance of the algorithm
// Compute concepts
let concepts = algorithm.count(in: context)
