Description
Summary:Efficiently discovering causal relations from data and representing them in a way that facilitates their use is an important problem in science that has received much attention. In this paper, we propose an adaptation of the Formal Concept Analysis formalism to the problem of discovering and representing causal relations. We show that Formal Concept Analysis structures and algorithms are well-suited to this problem.
