New Moose method enhances neuro-symbolic learning for OWL 2 EL ontologies

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.

    Moose: Latent concept learning with reasoning-shortcut awareness in $\mathcal{EL}^{++}$

    arXiv:2608.12961v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The OWL 2 EL profile is used in some of the largest production ontologies, including the Gene Ontology and SNOMED CT. Existing neuro-symbolic (NeSy) learning methods accept propositional theories or Datalog, and reasoning-shortcut (…
