The More the Merrier: Combining Properties for ABox Abduction under Repair Semantics for ELbot

arXiv:2606.19197v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Abduction is a central approach to explain missing entailments from a knowledge base by providing a hypothesis, that would, if added to the knowledge base, make the missing entailment become true. Abduction under repair semantics has recently been investigated in detail, where several desirable properties and optimality criteria were considered, such as signature-restrictions and minimality in size and of introduced conflicts. Naturally, hypotheses that satisfy more than one of these properties or combine a property with an optimality criterion
The continuous research in AI, especially in explainable AI and knowledge base reasoning, drives advancements in logical abduction under repair semantics.
This research addresses a fundamental challenge in making AI systems more transparent and reliable by enabling them to better explain missing information and derive hypotheses.
The ability to combine multiple desirable properties for ABox abduction under repair semantics improves the sophistication and practicality of knowledge-based systems.
