What is CLA? 

CLA is an international conference dedicated to formal concept
analysis (FCA, http://www.fcahome.org.uk/) and closely related areas.
Formal concept analysis was invented in the early 1980s as a method of
data analysis with solid mathematical foundations. A key idea is to
base the analysis of data on the notion of a formal concept–a formal
counterpart to the intuitive notion of a human-like concept found in
data. Directly related to formal concept analysis are areas such as
data mining, information retrieval, knowledge management, data and
knowledge engineering, logic, algebra and lattice theory. The
conference provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and
students. The program of the conference consists of invited plenary
talks, regular talks, and poster sessions. Papers in all areas
relevant to theory and applications of formal concept analysis are
solicited. 
 
Those areas include but are not restricted to: 
 
* foundations,
* concept lattices and related structures,
* attribute implications and data dependencies,
* algorithms and complexity,
* visualization,
* data preprocessing,
* redundancy and dimensionality reduction,
* information retrieval,
* classification,
* clustering,
* association rules and other data dependencies,
* ontologies,
* applications.
