CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishWe present a method based on clustering techniques to detect possible/probable novel concepts or concept drift in a knowledge base expressed in Description Logics. The method exploits an effective and language-independent semi-distance measure defined for the space of individuals, that is based on a finite number of dimensions corresponding to a committee of discriminating features (represented by concept descriptions). A maximally discriminating group of features can be obtained with the randomized optimization methods described in the paper. In the algorithm, the possible clusterings are represented as strings of central elements (medoids, w.r.t. the given metric) of variable length. Hence, the number of clusters is not required as a parameter since the method is able to find an optimal choice by means of the evolutionary operators and of a proper fitness function. An experimentation with a number of ontologies proves the feasibility of our method and its effectiveness in terms of clustering validity indices. Then, with a supervised learning phase, each cluster can be assigned with a refined or newly constructed intensional definition expressed in the adopted language.

| Abstract: | We present a method based on clustering techniques to detect possible/probable novel concepts or concept drift in a knowledge base expressed in Description Logics. The method exploits an effective and language-independent semi-distance measure defined for the space of individuals, that is based on a finite number of dimensions corresponding to a committee of discriminating features (represented by concept descriptions). A maximally discriminating group of features can be obtained with the randomized optimization methods described in the paper. In the algorithm, the possible clusterings are represented as strings of central elements (medoids, w.r.t. the given metric) of variable length. Hence, the number of clusters is not required as a parameter since the method is able to find an optimal choice by means of the evolutionary operators and of a proper fitness function. An experimentation with a number of ontologies proves the feasibility of our method and its effectiveness in terms of clustering validity indices. Then, with a supervised learning phase, each cluster can be assigned with a refined or newly constructed intensional definition expressed in the adopted language. |
