Description logics (DLs) are standard knowledge representation languages for modelling ontologies, i.e. knowledge about concepts and the relations between them. Unfortunately, DL ontologies are difficult to learn from data and…

The Dependent Object Types (DOT) calculus incorporates concepts from functional languages (e.g. modules) with traditional object-oriented features (e.g. objects, subtyping) to achieve greater expressivity (e.g. F-bounded polymorphism).…

We present a KE-tableau-based implementation of a reasoner for a decidable fragment of (stratified) set theory expressing the description logic $\mathcal{DL}\langle \mathsf{4LQS^{R,\!\times}}\rangle(\mathbf{D})$…

This paper presents a cut-elimination proof for the logic $LG^\omega$, which is an extension of a proof system for encoding generic judgments, the logic $\FOLDNb$ of Miller and Tiu, with an induction principle. The logic $LG^\omega$, just…

On one hand, termination analysis of logic programs is now a fairly established research topic within the logic programming community. On the other hand, non-termination analysis seems to remain a much less attractive subject. If we divide…

Datalog reasoning based on the semina\"ive evaluation strategy evaluates rules using traditional join plans, which often leads to redundancy and inefficiency in practice, especially when the rules are complex. Hypertree decompositions help…

Recent work in entity disambiguation (ED) has typically neglected structured knowledge base (KB) facts, and instead relied on a limited subset of KB information, such as entity descriptions or types. This limits the range of contexts in…

Rule sets are highly interpretable logical models in which the predicates for decision are expressed in disjunctive normal form (DNF, OR-of-ANDs), or, equivalently, the overall model comprises an unordered collection of if-then decision…

Justification logics are modal-like logics that provide a framework for reasoning about justifications. This paper introduces labeled sequent calculi for justification logics, as well as for hybrid modal-justification logics. Using the…

We consider the call-by-value lambda-calculus extended with a may-convergent non-deterministic choice and a must-convergent parallel composition. Inspired by recent works on the relational semantics of linear logic and non-idempotent…

Existential rules form an expressive Datalog-based language to specify ontological knowledge. The presence of existential quantification in rule-heads, however, makes the main reasoning tasks undecidable. To overcome this limitation, in the…

We study a fitting problem inspired by ontology-mediated querying: given a collection of positive and negative examples of the form $(\mathcal{A},q)$ with $\mathcal{A}$ an ABox and $q$ a Boolean query, we seek an ontology $\mathcal{O}$ that…

This paper proposes a connection method \`a la Bibel for an exception-tolerant family of description logics (DLs). As for the language, we assume the DL $\mathcal{ALCH}$ extended with two typicality operators: one on (complex) concepts and…
