We consider the problem of learning both the structure and
the parameters of Probabilistic Description Logics under DISPONTE.
DISPONTE ("DIstribution Semantics for Probabilistic ONTologiEs")
adapts the distribution semantics for Probabilistic Logic Programming
to Description Logics. The system LEAP for "LEArning Probabilistic
description logics" learns both the structure and the parameters of
DISPONTE knowledge bases (KBs) by exploiting the algorithms CELOE
and EDGE. The former stands for "Class Expression Learning for Ontology
Engineering" and it is used to generate good candidate axioms
to add to the KB, while the latter learns the probabilistic parameters
and evaluates the KB. EDGE for "Em over bDds for description loGics
paramEter learning" is an algorithm for learning the parameters of probabilistic
ontologies from data. In order to contain the computational cost,
a distributed version of EDGE called EDGEMR was developed. EDGEMR
exploits the MapReduce (MR) strategy by means of the Message Passing
Interface. In this paper we propose the system LEAPMR. It is a
re-engineered version of LEAP which is able to use distributed parallel
parameter learning algorithms such as EDGEMR.

  abstract = {The adoption of Description Logics for modeling real world
domains within the Semantic Web is exponentially increased in the last
years, also due to the availability of a large number of reasoning algorithms.
Most of them exploit the tableau algorithm which has to manage
non-determinism, a feature that is not easy to handle using procedural
languages such as Java or C++. Reasoning on real world domains also
requires the capability of managing probabilistic and uncertain information.
We thus present TRILL, for "Tableau Reasoner for descrIption
Logics in proLog" and TRILLP
, for "TRILL powered by Pinpointing
formulas", which implement the tableau algorithm and return the probability
of queries. TRILLP
, instead of the set of explanations for a query,
computes a Boolean formula representing them, speeding up the computation.

Ontologies  are a fundamental component of the Semantic Web since they provide a formal and machine manipulable model of a domain.
Description Logics (DLs) are often the languages of choice for modeling ontologies. Great effort has been spent in identifying decidable or even tractable fragments of DLs.  Conversely, for knowledge representation and reasoning,  integration with rules and rule-based reasoning is crucial in the so-called Semantic Web stack vision.
Datalog+- is an extension of Datalog which can be used for representing lightweight ontologies, and is able to express

In this work, we show that Abductive Logic Programming (ALP) is also a suitable framework for representing Datalog+- ontologies, supporting query answering through an abductive proof procedure, and smoothly achieving the integration of ontologies and rule-based reasoning.
In particular, we consider an Abductive Logic Programming framework  named
SCIFF, and  derived from the IFF abductive framework, able to deal with  existentially (and universally) quantified variables in rule heads, and Constraint Logic Programming  constraints.
Forward and backward reasoning is naturally supported in the ALP framework. We show that the SCIFF language smoothly supports the integration of rules, expressed in a Logic Programming language, with Datalog+- ontologies,  mapped  into SCIFF (forward) integrity constraints.

The main advantage is that this integration is achieved within a single language, grounded on abduction in computational logic.

Representing uncertain information is crucial for modeling real world domains. In this paper we present a technique for the integration of probabilistic information in Description Logics (DLs) that is based on the distribution semantics for probabilistic logic programs. In the resulting approach, that we called DISPONTE, the axioms of a probabilistic knowledge base
(KB) can be annotated with a real number between 0 and 1. A probabilistic knowledge base then defines a probability
distribution over regular KBs called worlds and the probability of a given query can be obtained from the joint distribution of the worlds and the query by marginalization.
We present the algorithm BUNDLE for computing the probability of queries from DISPONTE KBs. The algorithm exploits an underlying  DL reasoner, such as Pellet, that is able to return explanations for  queries. The explanations are encoded in a Binary Decision Diagram from which the probability of the query is computed.
The experimentation of BUNDLE shows that it can handle probabilistic KBs of realistic size.
