  1. Inference in Probabilistic Ontologies with Attributive Concept Descriptions and Nominals Rodrigo Bellizia Polastro and Fabio Gagliardi Cozman

  2. Overall Purpose • Expand description logic to include uncertainty • Define coherent semantics for a probabilistic logic • Derive algorithms for inference in this logic For example: The probability that a particular wine is Merlot, given that its color is red.

  3. Goals • Extend previous work by: • Handling realistic examples • Add nominals to CRALC (credal ALC)

  4. Outline • Review definitions found in ALC • Describe two semantics used in probabilistic description logics • Describe CRALC • Show experimental results with Wine Ontology & Kangaroo Ontology

  5. Definitions • Individuals, concepts, and roles • Concepts and roles are combined to form new concepts using constructors: • Conjunction • Disjunction • Negation • Existential restriction • Value restriction

  6. Probabilistic Description Logics – the literature Domain-based semantics (most common): Interpretation-based semantics: Direct inference: The transfer of statistical information about domains to specific individuals. Problem with Domain-based semantics. Tells us nothing about

  7. CRALC • Allows an ontology to be translated into a relational Bayesian network • Interpretation-based semantics • Includes these constructs: • all constructs of ALC • concept inclusions • concept definitions • individuals • assertions

  8. CRALC • Probabilistic inclusions: • read where D is a concept and C is a concept name. • only concept names are allowed in the conditioned concept (no constructs) • Semantics: • Semantics for roles:

  9. CRALC • Inference: • The calculation of a query ,where A is a concept and A is an Abox (set of assertions). • Terminologies (graphs) are acyclic, and have nodes for each concept, restriction, and role. • Assumptions: • Homogeneity condition is a constant. • Unique names assumption (each element in the domain refers to a distinct individual) • Domain closure (the cardinality of a domain is fixed and known)

  10. Wine Ontology Experiment

  11. Wine Ontology Experiment

  12. Kangaroo Ontology Experiment

  13. Kangaroo Ontology Experiment

  14. Conclusions • CRALC has been improved • Interpretation-based semantics has been incorporated allowing for use of nominals • CRALC has been demonstrated on realistic examples • The cost of using the interpretation-based semantics is high (requires the construction of huge networks)

  15. Strengths • They show that CRALC works • Rigorous mathematical motivation for their choices • Good background section for ALC and probabilistic description logics

  16. Weaknesses • Don’t explain how Bayesian Networks are formed from ontology (probably in prior paper) • We don’t know how reasonable their results are as interpretations of the ontology. • Rigorous mathematical motivation for their choices
