Abstract

In this paper, a new approach for automatically generating linguistic descriptions by using residuated formal concept analysis is introduced and detailed. The main idea is to create a linguistic description from a database which has been previously transformed into a fuzzy formal context via a set of linguistic variables. From the obtained context, linguistic descriptions can be automatically generated through the information provided by the meet-irreducible concepts.
