Bounded Fitting for Expressive Description Logics

Bounded fitting is an attractive paradigm for learning logical formulas from labeled data examples that offers PAC-style generalization guarantees and can often be implemented leveraging SAT solvers. It has been successfully applied to learning concepts of the description logic ALC. We study bounded fitting for learning concepts in expressive description logics that extend ALC with inverse roles, qualified number restrictions, and feature comparisons. We investigate under which conditions bounded fitting keeps its favorable theoretical properties in this setting, and implement it using a SAT solver. We compare our tool with state-of-the-art concept learners with encouraging results, demonstrating that it is a practical approach to expressive concept learning.

Conservative Extensions for Existential Rules

We study the problem to decide, given sets T1,T2 of tuple-generating dependencies (TGDs), also called existential rules, whether T2 is a conservative extension of T1. We consider two natural notions of conservative extension, one pertaining to answers to conjunctive queries over databases and one to homomorphisms between chased databases. Our main results are that these problems are undecidable for linear TGDs, undecidable for guarded TGDs even when T1 is empty, and decidable for frontier-one TGDs.

Frontiers and Exact Learning of ELI Queries under DL-Lite Ontologies

We study ELI queries (ELIQs) in the presence of ontologies formulated in the description logic DL-Lite. For the dialect DL-LiteH, we show that ELIQs have a frontier (set of least general generalizations) that is of polynomial size and can be computed in polynomial time. In the dialect DL-LiteF, in contrast, frontiers may be infinite. We identify a natural syntactic restriction that enables the same positive results as for DL-LiteH. We use out results on frontiers to show that ELIQs are learnable in polynomial time in the presence of a DL-LiteH / restricted DL-LiteF ontology in Angluin's framework of exact learning with only membership queries.

Logical Separability of Labeled Data Examples under Ontologies

Finding a logical formula that separates positive and negative examples given in the form of labeled data items is fundamental in applications such as concept learning, reverse engineering of database queries, generating referring expressions, and entity comparison in knowledge graphs. In this paper, we investigate the existence of a separating formula for data in the presence of an ontology. Both for the ontology language and the separation language, we concentrate on first-order logic and the following important fragments thereof: the description logic $\mathcal{ALCI}$, the guarded fragment, the two-variable fragment, and the guarded negation fragment. For separation, we also consider (unions of) conjunctive queries. We consider several forms of separability that differ in the treatment of negative examples and in whether or not they admit the use of additional helper symbols to achieve separation. Our main results are model-theoretic characterizations of (all variants of) separability, the comparison of the separating power of different languages, and the investigation of the computational complexity of deciding separability.

Separating Positive and Negative Data Examples by Concepts and Formulas: The Case of Restricted Signatures

We study the separation of positive and negative data examples in terms of description logic (DL) concepts and formulas of decidable FO fragments, in the presence of an ontology. In contrast to previous work, we add a signature that specifies a subset of the symbols from the data and ontology that can be used for separation. We consider weak and strong versions of the resulting problem that differ in how the negative examples are treated. Our main results are that (a projective form of) the weak version is decidable in $\mathcal{ALCI}$ while it is undecidable in the guarded fragment GF, the guarded negation fragment GNF, and the DL $\mathcal{ALCFIO}$, and that strong separability is decidable in $\mathcal{ALCI}$, GF, and GNF. We also provide (mostly tight) complexity bounds.
