New research explores query answering complexity over knowledge bases

This paper delves into the computational complexity of answering navigational queries over knowledge bases augmented with ontologies. Researchers analyzed two-way regular path queries (CRPQ) and conjunctive regular path queries (CRPQ) against ontologies defined by guarded existential rules. For linear existential rules, data complexity was found to be NL-complete, while combined complexity ranged from PTime-complete to ExpTime-complete depending on predicate arity. AI

IMPACT This research contributes to the theoretical underpinnings of knowledge base querying, potentially impacting future AI systems that rely on complex data retrieval and reasoning.

    Answering Path Queries under Linear and Guarded Existential Rules

    arXiv:2607.22636v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ontology-mediated query answering is concerned with the problem of answering queries over knowledge bases consisting of a database instance and an ontology. While most work in the area focuses on conjunctive queries (CQs), navigatio…
