Ontolearn: Learning OWL Class Expressions

Ontolearn is an open-source software library for learning owl class expressions at large scale.

Given positive and negative OWL named individual examples $E^+$ and $E^-$, learning OWL Class expression problem refers to the following supervised Machine Learning problem

$$\forall p \in E^+\ \mathcal{K} \models H(p) \wedge \forall n \in E^-\ \mathcal{K} \not \models H(n).$$

To tackle this supervised learning problem, ontolearn offers many symbolic, neuro-symbolic and deep learning based Learning algorithms:

Drill → Neuro-Symbolic Class Expression Learning
EvoLearner → EvoLearner: Learning Description Logics with Evolutionary Algorithms
NCES2 → (soon) Neural Class Expression Synthesis in ALCHIQ(D)
NCES → Neural Class Expression Synthesis
NERO → (soon) Learning Permutation-Invariant Embeddings for Description Logic Concepts
CLIP → Learning Concept Lengths Accelerates Concept Learning in ALC
CELOE → Class Expression Learning for Ontology Engineering
OCEL → A limited version of CELOE

The below code trains DRILL with 6 randomly generated learning problems provided that path_to_pretrained_drill does not lead to a directory containing pretrained DRILL. Thereafter, trained DRILL is saved in the directory path_to_pretrained_drill. Finally, trained DRILL will learn an OWL class expression.

import json
import requests
with open(f"LPs/Mutagenesis/lps.json") as json_file:
    learning_problems = json.load(json_file)["problems"]
for str_target_concept, examples in learning_problems.items():
    response = requests.get('http://0.0.0.0:8000/cel',
                            headers={'accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
                            json={"pos": examples['positive_examples'],
                                  "neg": examples['negative_examples'],
                                  "model": "Drill",
                                  "path_embeddings": "mutagenesis_embeddings/Keci_entity_embeddings.csv",
                                  "path_to_pretrained_drill": "pretrained_drill",
                                  # if pretrained_drill exists, upload, otherwise train one and save it there

    print(response.json())  # {'Prediction': '∀ hasAtom.(¬Nitrogen-34)', 'F1': 0.7283582089552239, 'saved_prediction': 'Predictions.owl'}

TDL (a more scalable learner) can also be used as follows

import json
import requests
response = requests.get('http://0.0.0.0:8000/cel',
                        headers={'accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
                        json={"pos": examples['positive_examples'],
                              "neg": examples['negative_examples'],
                              "model": "TDL"})
print(response.json())

NCES (another scalable learner). The following will first train NCES if the provided path path_to_pretrained_nces does not exist

import json
import requests
with open(f"LPs/Mutagenesis/lps.json") as json_file:
    learning_problems = json.load(json_file)["problems"]
## This trains NCES before solving the provided learning problems. Expect poor performance for this number of epochs, and this training data size.
## If GPU is available, set `num_of_training_learning_problems` t0 10_000 or more. Set `nces_train_epochs` to 300 or more, and increase `nces_batch_size`.
for str_target_concept, examples in learning_problems.items():
    response = requests.get('http://0.0.0.0:8000/cel',
                            headers={'accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
                            json={"pos": examples['positive_examples'],
                                  "neg": examples['negative_examples'],
                                  "model": "NCES",
                                  "path_embeddings": "mutagenesis_embeddings/Keci_entity_embeddings.csv",
                                  "path_to_pretrained_nces": None,
                                  # if pretrained_nces exists, load weghts, otherwise train one and save it
                                  "num_of_training_learning_problems": 100,
                                  "nces_train_epochs": 5,
                                  "nces_batch_size": 16
                                  })
    print(response.json())

Now this will use pretrained weights for NCES

import json
import requests
with open(f"LPs/Mutagenesis/lps.json") as json_file:
    learning_problems = json.load(json_file)["problems"]
for str_target_concept, examples in learning_problems.items():
    response = requests.get('http://0.0.0.0:8000/cel',
                            headers={'accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
                            json={"pos": examples['positive_examples'],
                                  "neg": examples['negative_examples'],
                                  "model": "NCES",
                                  "path_embeddings": "./NCESData/mutagenesis/embeddings/ConEx_entity_embeddings.csv",
                                  "path_to_pretrained_nces": "./NCESData/mutagenesis/trained_models/",
                                  # if pretrained_nces exists, load weghts, otherwise train one and save it
                                  "num_of_training_learning_problems": 100,
                                  "nces_train_epochs": 5,
                                  "nces_batch_size": 16
                                  })
    print(response.json())

10-Fold Cross Validation Family Benchmark Results

Here we apply 10-fold cross validation technique on each benchmark learning problem with max runtime of 60 seconds to measure the training and testing performance of learners. In the evaluation, from a given single learning problem (a set of positive and negative examples), a learner learns an OWL Class Expression (H) on a given 9 fold of positive and negative examples. To compute the training performance, We compute F1-score of H train positive and negative examples. To compute the test performance, we compute F1-score of H w.r.t. test positive and negative examples.

# To download learning problems and benchmark learners on the Family benchmark dataset with benchmark learning problems.

In the following python script, the results are summarized and the markdown displayed below generated.

import pandas as pd
df=pd.read_csv("family_results.csv").groupby("LP").mean()
print(df[[col for col in df if col.startswith('Test-F1') or col.startswith('RT')]].to_markdown(floatfmt=".3f"))

Note that DRILL is untrained and we simply used accuracy driven heuristics to learn an OWL class expression.

Below, we report the average test F1 score and the average runtimes of learners.
