Fuzzy-DL Reasoning over Unknown Fuzzy Degrees

چکیده
In this paper we describe a fuzzy Description Logic reasoner which implements resolution in order to provide reasoning services for expressive fuzzy DLs. The main innovation of this implementation is the ability to reason over assertions with abstract (unspecified) fuzzy degrees. The answer to queries is, consequently, an algebraic expression involving the (unknown) fuzzy degrees and the degree of the query. We describe the implementation and discuss a use case in the domain of semantic meta-extraction where conventional DL reasoning is not applicable.

Finite Fuzzy Description Logics: A Crisp Representation for Finite Fuzzy ALCH
Fuzzy Description Logics (DLs) are a formalism for the representation of structured knowledge affected by imprecision or vagueness. In the setting of fuzzy DLs, restricting to a finite set of degrees of truth has proved to be useful. In this paper, we propose finite fuzzy DLs as a generalization of existing approaches. We assume a finite totally ordered set of linguistic terms or labels, which ...
متن کاملThe complexity of fuzzy EL under the Łukasiewicz T-norm
Fuzzy Description Logics (DLs) are are a family of knowledge representation formalisms designed to represent and reason about vague and imprecise knowledge that is inherent to many application domains. Previous work has shown that the complexity of reasoning in a fuzzy DL using finitely many truth degrees is usually not higher than that of the underlying classical DL. We show that this does not...
متن کاملExtending Fuzzy Description Logics with a Possibilistic Layer
Classical ontologies are not suitable to represent imprecise nor uncertain pieces of information. As a solution we will combine fuzzy Description Logics with a possibilistic layer. Then, we will show how to perform reasoning by relying on classical existing reasoners. Description Logics (DLs for short) are a family of logics for representing structured knowledge which have proved to be very use...
متن کاملTowards Temporal Fuzzy Query Answering on Stream-based Data
For reasoning over streams of data ontology-based data access is a common approach. The method for answering conjunctive queries (CQs) over DL-Lite ontologies in this setting is by rewritings of the query and evaluation of the resulting query by a data base engine. For streambased applications the classical expressivity of DL-Lite lacks means to handle fuzzy and temporal information. In this pa...
متن کاملFuzzy Ontologies over Lattices with T-norms
In some knowledge domains, a correct handling of vagueness and imprecision is fundamental for adequate knowledge representation and reasoning. For example, when trying to diagnose a disease, medical experts need to confront symptoms described by the patient, which are by definition subjective, and hence vague. Moreover, a single malady may present a diversity of clinical manifestations in diffe...
