Graphs with labeled vertices and edges play an important role in various applications, including chemistry. A model of learning from positive and negative examples, naturally described in terms of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), is used here to generate hypotheses about biological activity of chemical compounds. A standard FCA technique is used to reduce labeled graphs to object-attribute representation. The major challenge is the construction of the context, which can involve ten thousands attributes. The method is tested against a standard dataset from an ongoing international competition called Predictive Toxicology Challenge (PTC).
