Abstract

We present ConceptFlow, a scikit-learn-compatible Python library for Formal Concept Analysis that constructs and renders nested line diagrams from many-valued formal contexts. Given a many-valued context and a partition of its attributes into conceptual scales, ConceptFlow performs conceptual scaling, computes the factor lattices, identifies filled nodes of the corresponding subdirect product, and produces an interactive visualization. We apply ConceptFlow to the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest from 1975 to 2025, exploring relationships between voting patterns and musical characteristics. Voting support is captured by an outer scale spanning regional, cultural, historical, and political dimensions, while an inner scale captures musical characteristics via tempo and key. The resulting nested line diagram reveals implications across both scales, exposing dependencies between how winning entries were voted for and the musical properties they share.
