In this paper, we present an algorithm for finding τ-pseudo cliques, a kind of dense communities, in a given network/graph. A τ-pseudo clique is defined as a union of several maximal cliques in the graph which has a certain degree of ovarlapness as its core. Although an algorithm for detecting those pseudo cliques has already been proposed, its empirical performance would not be acceptable particularly for large graphs because the computational procedure of the algorithm is rather complicated.In order to make this kind of pseudo-cliques more practical, we design a new algorithm for detecting them with the help of formal concept analysis, a method for analyzing relational data. A relationship between τ-pseudo cliques and formal concepts shows that pseudo cliques can be found as formal concepts satisfying a certain constraint w.r.t. their cores. In our FCA-based algorithm, we can enjoy simple pruning rules based on the definition of τ-pseudo cliques. From our preliminary experimental results for several benchmark and real networks, it is expected that the proposed method would be a promising approach to detecting τ-pseudo cliques.
