Motivated by the possibilities of applying deductive database technology for efficient query answering in description logics, we present a translation operator µ that transforms...
The core of our question-answering mechanism is searching for predefined patterns of textual expressions that may be interpreted as answers to certain types of questions. The pres...
Abstract. Conjunctive query answering is an important DL reasoning task. Although this task is by now quite well-understood, tight complexity bounds for conjunctive query answering...
Let S be a set of n intervals in R, and let (S, +) be any commutative semigroup. We assign a weight ω(s) ∈ S to each interval in S. For a point x ∈ R, let S(x) ⊆ S be the se...

Abstract. The Hugin and Shenoy–Shafer architectures are two variations on the jointree algorithm, which exhibit different tradeoffs with respect to efficiency and query answeri...
