Learning Multiple Description Logics Concepts.
Raphael Melo, Kate Cerqueira Revoredo, Aline Paes · 2013
Abstract. Description logics based languages have became the stan-dard representation scheme for ontologies. They formalize the domain knowledge using interrelated concepts, contained in terminologies. The manual definition of terminologies is an expensive and error prone task, therefore automatic learning methods are a necessity. In this paper we lay the foundations of a multiple concept learning method that uses vir-tual concepts to aid the learning process, yielding more compact and readable terminologies. In this paper, we define virtual concepts and how they can be implemented in the current concept learning methods. We show through experiments how the method stacks up against other multiple concept learning methods. 1
