报告摘要：

Concepts constitute a concise manifestation of key features of data. As being built at the higher level of abstraction than the data themselves, they capture the essence of the data and usually emerge in the form of information granules. 

In this talk, we identify three main ways in which concepts are encountered and characterized: (i) numeric, (ii) symbolic, and (iii) granular. Each of these views come with their advantages and become complementary to some extent.

The numeric concepts are built by engaging various clustering techniques. The quality of numeric concepts evaluated at the numeric level is described by a reconstruction criterion. The granular concepts augment numeric concepts by bringing information granularity into the picture and invoking the principle of justifiable granularity in their construction.
