Abstract: As an important tool in the theory of formal concept analysis,the attribute exploration algorithm is problem-oriented and can interactively discover system knowledge step by step,which plays a central role in knowledge discovery and acquisition.However,if the size of formal context is large,the calculation process of attribute exploration algorithm will spend too much time to restrict seriously the promotion and application of the algorithm in the current era of big data.The bottleneck of time-consuming mainly lies in “finding the next problem to interact with experts”,traditional algorithms have a lot of redundant computation in this process.Aiming at this problem,three theorems are put forward and proved based on analyzing the logic relation between pseudo-intent,intent and implication set.According to these theorems,an attribute exploration algorithm based on an unrelated collection is given.During pseudo-intent and intent calculation,this algorithm,by means of the proposed theorems,can skip the process of determining whether or not an attribute set that violates the logical relationship is a pseudo-intent or intent,so as to reduce the search space and time complexity of the algorithm.The best time is O(mn2P2),the worst time is O(mn3P2).The experi-mental results show that the proposed algorithm has an obvious time performance advantage compared with the traditional algorithm.
