Abstract Three‐way concept analysis is an important tool for information processing, and rule acquisition is one of the research hotspots of three‐way concept analysis. However, compared with three‐way concept lattices, three‐way semi‐concept lattices have three‐way operators with weaker constraints, which can generate more concepts. In this article, the problem of rule acquisition for three‐way semi‐concept lattices is discussed in general. The authors construct the finer relation of three‐way semi‐concept lattices, and propose a method of rule acquisition for three‐way semi‐concept lattices. The authors also discuss the set of decision rules and the relationships of decision rules among object‐induced three‐way semi‐concept lattices, object‐induced three‐way concept lattices, classical concept lattices and semi‐concept lattices. Finally, examples are provided to illustrate the validity of our conclusions.
