So, what’s new in this paper ? • Different representations • Hypergraphs, colored graphs [Baget:04] • Multigraphs, lambda abtractions [Salvat:98] • Different restrictions • Lattice as concept types hierarchy [Salvat:98] • Poor treatment of individuals in conclusion [Baget:04] • Improving both results • Unification of syntaxes • Removal of all restrictions • Extension to conjunctive concept types (collateral benefit) =

Using the GRD in Backward Chaining • Reduces the # of rules used in BC • as in FC, remove rules that are not on a path from G to H • Reduces # of unification checks in BC • as in FC, only checks for neighbours in the GRD • Reduces the cost of unification checks ? • in FC, linearly computes partial projections to extend. • In BC, we should obtain a partial unification to extend ….
