2012
Proceedings of the 31st symposium on Principles of Database Systems - PODS '12
In this paper we study such approximations for conjunctive queries. ...
When finding exact answers to a query over a large database is infeasible, it is natural to approximate the query by a more efficient one that comes from a class with good bounds on the complexity of query ...

TrOWL: Tractable OWL 2 Reasoning Infrastructure
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We present the TrOWL infrastructure for transforming, reasoning, and querying OWL2 ontologies which uses novel techniques such as Quality Guaranteed Approximations and Forgetting to achieve this goal. ...
The Semantic Web movement has led to the publication of thousands of ontologies online. These ontologies present and mediate information and knowledge on the Semantic Web. ...
We would also like to thank Stuart Taylor, Nophadol Jekjantuk and Yuting Zhao at the University of Aberdeen for their helpful discussion and other contributions. ...

Query Abduction for ELH Ontologies
2015
PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTIETH AAAI CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE TWENTY-EIGHTH INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE
In this paper, we develop a sound and complete algorithm of query abduction for general conjunctive queries in ELH ontologies. This is achieved through ontology approximation and query rewriting. ...
We evaluated our algorithm over university benchmark ontology and our experimental results show that the system is capable of handling query abduction problems for ontology that has approximately 10 millions ...
A conjunctive query Q( x) is of the form ∃ y.φ( x, y), where φ is a conjunction of atoms with predicates and terms from N C ∪ N R and N I ∪ N V , respectively. ...

A user chooses between a variety of query answering techniques, both exact and approximate, and observes the running behavior, pros, and cons, of each method, in terms of efficiency, precision of the result ...
We demonstrate a system for querying probabilistic XML documents with simple XPath queries. ...
We appeal to these theoretical studies to perform efficient translations, as encoding matches with conjunctions of all events involved simplify the computation and approximation processes. ...

It's Not What Machines Can Learn, It's What We Cannot Teach
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We empirically explore a case study, Conjunctive Query Containment, and show how common data generation techniques generate biased datasets that lead practitioners to over-estimate model accuracy. ...
Can deep neural networks learn to solve any task, and in particular problems of high complexity? ...
Conjunctive Query Containment (CQC) is the set of all pairs (p, q) of conjunctive queries such that p(D) ⊆ q(D) for every database D; we denote such pairs by p ⊆ q. ...

Filtering with Approximate Predicates
1998
Very Large Data Bases Conference
We model different types of approximate predicates and their dependencies, we derive expressions for the errors of compound predicates, and we develop query optimization strategies. ...
In this paper we study the problem of selecting and structuring approximate predicates in order to reduce the cost of processing a user query, while keeping errors within user-specified bounds. ...
LinearWrapper is more efficient than the doublyexponential Naive Wrapper and the singly-exponential Conjunctive Wrapper since it is linear in the number of approximate predicates. ...

Approximating Terminological Queries
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
An application of these languages on the World Wide Web, however, is hampered by the limitations of logical reasoning in terms of efficiency and flexibility. ...
We discuss terminological knowledge and approximate reasoning in general and show the benefits of approximate reasoning using the example of building and maintaining semantic catalogues that can be used ...
In order to improve the efficiency of this approach, we propose various strategies for approximating answers by relaxing the query expression to a subsuming one that still returns all correct answers but ...

The authors show that by considering schema information it is possible to generate a minimal set of query plans within a database engine, thus computing the propagation score efficiently. ...
The authors also introduce a simple method to estimate the selectivity of inequality joins in order to optimize conjunctive queries and multi-way joins. ...

Efficient Query Answering Through Approximation
2007
International Workshop on Description Logics
In this poster, we propose to recast the idea of knowledge compilation into approximating OWL DL ontologies with DL-Lite ontologies, against which query answering has only polynomial data complexity. ...
We identify a useful category of queries for which our approach also guarantees completeness. Furthermore, we paper report on the implementation of our approach in the ONTOSEARCH2 system. ...
Unlike existing syntactic approximation approach, our approach always guarantees sound answers for conjunctive and disjunctive queries over ontologies. ...

Ranking Approximate Answers to Semantic Web Queries
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The query language we adopt comprises conjunctions of regular path queries, thus including extensions proposed for SPARQL to allow for querying paths using regular expressions. ...
In these circumstances, it is helpful if the querying system can perform an approximate matching of the user's query to the data and can rank the answers in terms of how closely they match the original ...
We are interested in developing efficient algorithms which allow for the approximate matching of users' queries on such data, with the answers to queries being returned to users in ranked order. ...

Efficient Upper Bound Computation of Query Answers in Expressive Description Logics

Queries. A conjunctive query (CQ), or simply a query, is a formula Q(x) of the form ∃y.ϕ(x, y), where ϕ(x, y) is a conjunction of atoms. ...
The technique we use is to approximate T to give an ontology T that is strictly "stronger" that T (i.e., T |= T ), and that is within a fragment for which query answers can be efficiently computed. ...
