Researchers have developed Moose, a novel neuro-symbolic learning method designed for OWL 2 EL ontologies, which are utilized in large-scale knowledge bases like Gene Ontology and SNOMED CT. This method compiles ontologies into a Sentential Decision Diagram (SDD) that functions as a differentiable weighted-model-counting layer. Moose addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating reasoning-shortcut awareness and enhancing expressivity for partial supervision. Evaluations on tasks involving the MNIST database and the Pizzaïolo dataset demonstrate Moose's superior performance compared to propositional neuro-symbolic approaches, fuzzy logic, and ontology embeddings, marking the first reasoning-shortcut analysis within an OWL EL context.
