A Closer Look at the Probabilistic Description Logic Prob-EL
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study probabilistic variants of the description logic EL. For the case where probabilities apply only to concepts, we provide a careful analysis of the borderline between tractability and EXPTIME-completeness. One outcome is that any probability value except zero and one leads to intractability in the presence of general TBoxes, while this is not the case for classical TBoxes. For the case where probabilities can also be applied to roles, we show PSPACE-completeness. This result is (positively) surprising as the best previously known upper bound was 2-EXPTIME and there were reasons to believe in completeness for this class.

Completion-based computation of most specific concepts with limited role-depth for EL and Prob-EL
In Description Logics the reasoning service most specific concept (msc) constructs a concept description that generalizes an ABox individual into a concept description. For the Description Logic EL the msc may not exist, if computed with respect to general EL-TBoxes or cyclic ABoxes. However, it is still possible to find a concept description that is the msc up to a fixed role-depth, i.e. with ...
متن کاملInstance-based Non-standard Inferences in EL with Subjective Probabilities
For practical ontology-based applications representing and reasoning with probabilities is an essential task. For Description Logics with subjective probabilities reasoning procedures for testing instance relations based on the completion method have been developed. In this paper we extend this technique to devise algorithms for solving nonstandard inferences for EL and its probabilistic extens...
متن کاملRole-depth Bounded Least Common Subsumer in Prob-EL with Nominals
Completion-based algorithms can be employed for computing the least common subsumer of two concepts up to a given role-depth, in extensions of the lightweight DL EL. This approach has been applied also to the probabilistic DL Prob-EL, which is variant of EL with subjective probabilities. In this paper we extend the completion-based lcscomputation algorithm to nominals, yielding a procedure for ...
متن کاملRole-depth Bounded Least Common Subsumers by Completion for EL- and prob-EL-TBoxes
The least common subsumer (lcs) w.r.t general EL-TBoxes does not need to exists in general due to cyclic axioms. In this paper we present an algorithm for computing role-depth bounded EL-lcs based on the completion algorithm for EL. We extend this computation algorithm to a recently introduced probabilistic variant of EL: Prob-EL.
متن کاملComputing Subjective Expected Utility using Probabilistic Description Logics
We introduce a framework which is based on probabilistic Description logics (Prob-DL), to represent and solve multi-criteria discrete alternative problems by calculating expected utility. To our knowledge, this is the first ever approach for calculating expected utility using a Description logics based formalism.
