Abstract : Given a binary relation R on a set O of objects and a set A of attributes, the Galois sub-hierarchy (also called AOC-poset) is the partial order on the introducers of objects and attributes in the corresponding concept lattice. We present a new efficient algorithm for building a Galois sub-hierarchy which runs in O(min{nm, n ^{\alpha}}), where n is the number of objects or attributes, m is the size of the relation, and n ^{\alpha} is the time required to perform matrix multiplication (currently \alpha = 2.376).
