A Declarative Modeling Language for Concept Learning in Description Logics
نویسنده
چکیده
Learning in Description Logics (DLs) has been paid increasing attention over the last decade. Several and diverse approaches have been proposed which however share the common feature of extending and adapting previous work in Concept Learning to the novel representation framework of DLs. In this paper we present a declarative modeling language for Concept Learning in DLs which relies on recent results in the fields of Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning. Based on second-order DLs, it allows for modeling Concept Learning problems as constructive DL reasoning tasks where the construction of the solution to the problem may be subject to optimality criteria.

Model with DLs + Solve with ASP! - A Case Study from Concept Learning
Research in Machine Learning (ML) has traditionally focussed on designing effective algorithms for solving particular tasks. However, there is an increasing interest in providing the user with a means for specifying what the ML problem in hand actually is rather than letting him struggle to outline how the solution to that problem needs to be computed. This corresponds to a model+solver approac...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Procedural and Declarative Learning Strategies on EFL Students’ Oral Proficiency
Style and strategies in EFL learning contexts and the effects of task types were explored to enhance language learning strategies. Using a quantitative pre-test, post-test design and interviews, this study investigated the effects of procedural and declarative learning strategies on EFL learners’ acquisition of English past tense performing narrative tasks. The participants were 396 male and fe...
متن کاملModeling and Verifying Complex Objects: A Declarative Approach Based on Description Logics
Description logics are good candidates for representing complex objects. Their expressive and computational properties have been extensively studied and are well understood. However, from a knowledge engineering perspective, the current reasoning services provided by description logic systems do not suffice for representing objects. Adding services (e.g help for debugging) is necessary to make ...
متن کاملLearning Composite Concepts in Description Logics: A First Step
This paper proposes the use of description logics as a representational framework for learning composite concepts. Description logics are restricted variants of first-order logic providing a form of logical bias that dates back to semantic networks. Some recent work investigates concept learning in the context of these formalisms. Also, having recognized the importance of part-whole hierarchies...
متن کاملExtensions to Description Logics
This chapter considers, on the one hand, extensions of Description Logics by features not available in the basic framework, but considered important for using Description Logics as a modeling language. In particular, it addresses the extensions concerning: concrete domain constraints; modal, epistemic, and temporal operators; probabilities and fuzzy logic; and defaults. On the other hand, it co...
