Abstract
Numerous data mining methods have been designed to help extract relevant and significant information from large datasets. Computing concept lattices allows clustering data according to their common features and making all relationships between them explicit. However, the size of such lattices increases exponentially with the volume of data and its number of dimensions. This paper proposes to use spatial (pixel-oriented) and tree-based visualizations of these conceptual structures in order to optimally exploit their expressivity.
