Abstract

We present a probably approximately correct algorithm for learning the terminological part of a description-logic knowledge base via subsumption queries. The axioms we learn are concept inclusions between conjunctions of concepts from a specified set of concept descriptions. By varying the distribution of queries posed to the oracle, we adapt the algorithm to improve the recall when using the resulting TBox for ontology-mediated query answering. Experimental evaluation on OWL 2 EL ontologies suggests that our approach helps significantly improve recall while maintaining a high precision of query answering.
