SHACL shape learning formalized with tight complexity bounds

Researchers have developed a fitting approach for learning SHACL shapes, which are crucial for validating data graphs in knowledge graph applications. The study focuses on a core fragment of SHACL that aligns with the Description Logic ELI, considering various semantics for recursive shape catalogues. The work establishes tight exponential-time upper bounds for computing the most specific fitting shape and addresses its existence, while also identifying polynomial bounds for specific scenarios.
