We consider the problem of learning both the structure and

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.

  abstract = {Probabilistic logic models are used ever more often to deal with
the uncertain relations typical of the real world.
However, these models usually require expensive inference procedures. Very recently the problem of identifying tractable
languages has come to the fore.
In this paper we consider the  models used by the learning from interpretations
ILP setting, namely
sets of integrity constraints, and propose a probabilistic version
of them. A semantics in the style of the distribution semantics is adopted, where each integrity constraint is annotated with a probability.
These probabilistic constraint logic models assign a probability of being positive to interpretations. This probability can be computed
in a time that is logarithmic in the
number of ground instantiations of violated constraints.
This formalism can be used as the target language in learning systems and
for declaratively specifying the behavior of a system.
In the latter case, inference corresponds to computing the probability of compliance
of a system's behavior to the model.

  abstract = {Logic Programming languages and Description Logics are
based on different domain closure assumptions, closed and the open
world assumption, respectively. Since many domains require both these
assumptions, the combination of LP and DL have become of foremost importance.
An especially successful approach is based on Minimal Knowledge
with Negation as Failure (MKNF), whose semantics is used to define
Hybrid KBs, composed of logic programming rules and description logic
axioms. Following such idea, we have proposed an approach for defining
DL-safe Probabilistic Hybrid Knowledge Bases, where each disjunct in
the head of LP clauses and each DL axiom is annotated with a probability
value, following the well known distribution semantics. In this paper,
we show that this semantics can be unintuitive for non-DL-safe PHKBs,
and we propose a new semantics that coincides with the previous one if
the PHKB is DL-safe.},

  abstract = {The ambition of Artificial Intelligence is to solve problems without human intervention. Often the problem description is given in human (natural) language. Therefore it is crucial to find an automatic way to understand a text written by a human. The research field concerned with the interactions between computers and natural languages is known under the name of Natural Language Processing (NLP), one of the most studied fields of Artificial Intelligence.

In this paper we show that Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP) is a suitable approach for NLP in various scenarios. For this purpose we use \texttt{cplint} on SWISH, a web application for Probabilistic Logic Programming. \texttt{cplint} on SWISH allows users to perform inference and learning with the framework \texttt{cplint} using just a web browser, with the computation performed on the server.},
