Abstract

In this paper we propose an automatic method of generating Symbolic Objects in the following framework: description of a partition by symbolic objects that takes into account two aspects, that may be called homogeneity and discrimination criteria. This method belongs to a family of algorithms named MGS (Marking and Generalization by Symbolic Objects), which may be applied either to Factorial Analysis interpretation, to interpretation of partitions or for summarizing huge databases.
