Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

Query Inseparability for Description Logic Knowledge Bases

Ch. 25. P. 25.1–25.10.
Botoeva E., Kontchakov R., Ryzhikov V., Wolter F., Zakharyaschev M.

We investigate conjunctive query inseparability of description logic (DL) knowledge bases (KBs) with respect to a given signature, a fundamental problem for KB versioning, module extraction, forgetting and knowledge exchange. We study the data and combined complexity of deciding KB query inseparability for fragments of Horn-ALCHI, including the DLs underpinning OWL 2 QL and OWL 2 EL. While all of these DLs are P-complete for data complexity, the combined complexity ranges from P to EXPTIME and 2EXPTIME. We also resolve two major open problems for OWL 2 QL by showing that TBox query inseparability and the membership problem for universal UCQ-solutions in knowledge exchange are both EXPTIME-complete for combined complexity.

A tetrachotomy of ontology-mediated queries with a covering axiom
Gerasimova O., Kikot S., Podolskii V. V. et al., Artificial Intelligence 2022 Vol. 309 Article 103738
Our concern is the problem of efficiently determining the data complexity of answering queries mediated by description logic ontologies and constructing their optimal rewritings to standard database queries. Originated in ontology-based data access and datalog optimisation, this problem is known to be computationally very complex in general, with no explicit syntactic characterisations available. In this ...

Our concern is the problem of determining the data complexity of answering an ontology-mediated query (OMQ) given in linear temporal logic LTL over (Z, <) and deciding whether it is rewritable to an FO(<)-query, possibly with extra predicates. First, we observe that, in line with the circuit complexity and FO-definability of regular languages, OMQ answering ...

On the Development of an Expert Decision Support System Based on the ELECTRE Methods
Kravchenko T., Shevgunov T., Petrakov A., , in: Advances in Intelligent Systems and ComputingТ. 1226: Proceedings of the 9th Computer Science On-line Conference 2020. Кн. 3: Applied Informatics and Cybernetics in Intelligent Systems.: Springer, 2020. Ch. 51 P. 552–561.
Analytical justification of decision options using decision support systems (DSS) significantly improves the quality of decisions. The use of the currently existing DSS, which usually includes one or two decision-making methods, does not always lead to the desired results, since each method is based on certain assumptions and is not universal. The noticeable effect is achieved when many decision-making methods ...

Checking the Data Complexity of Ontology-Mediated Queries: A Case Study with Non-uniform CSPs and Polyanna
Gerasimova O., Kikot S., Zakharyaschev M., , in: Description Logic, Theory Combination, and All That.: Berlin: Springer, 2019. P. 329–351.
It has recently been shown that first-order- and datalog-rewritability of ontology-mediated queries (OMQs) with expressive ontologies can be checked in NExpTime using a reduction to CSPs. In this paper, we present a case study for OMQs with Boolean conjunctive queries and a fixed ontology consisting of a single covering axiom 𝐴 -> 𝐹 v 𝑇, A -> F v T, possibly supplemented with ...

The Synergy and Cycle Values in Regional Innovation Systems: The Case of Norway
Ivanova I., Strand Ø., Leydesdorff L., Foresight and STI Governance 2019 Vol. 13 No. 1 P. 48–61
The innovation capacity of a system can be measured as the synergy in interactions among its parts. Synergy can be considered as a consequence of negative entropies among three parts of the system. We analyze the development of synergy value in the Norwegian innovation system in terms of mutual information among geographical, sectorial, and size ...

Synergy in innovation systems: Redundancy in the triple helix of university-industrygovernment relations
Leydesdorff L., Ivanova I., Meyer M., , in: Springer Handbook of Science and Technology Indicators.: Springer, 2019. Ch. 16 P. 421–443.
The Triple Helix of university-industry-government relations can first be considered as an institutional network. However, the correlations in the patterns of relations provide another topology: that of a vector space. Meanings are provided from positions in this latter topology and from the perspective of hindsight. Meanings can be shared, and sharing generates redundancy. Increasing redundancy ...

We design a decidable extension of the description logic SROIQ underlying the Web Ontology Language OWL 2. The new logic, called SR+OIQ, supports a controlled use of role axioms whose right-hand side may contain role chains or role unions. We give a tableau algorithm for checking concept satisfiability with respect to SR+OIQ ontologies and prove ...

A Cookbook for Temporal Conceptual Data Modelling with Description Logics
Artale A., Kontchakov R., Ryzhikov V. et al., ACM Transactions on Computational Logic 2014 Vol. 15 No. 3 P. 25.1–25.50
We design temporal description logics (TDLs) suitable for reasoning about temporal conceptual data models and investigate their computational complexity. Our formalisms are based on DL-Lite logics with three types of concept inclusions (ranging from atomic concept inclusions and disjointness to the full Booleans), as well as cardinality constraints and role inclusions. The logics are interpreted ...

Our aim is to investigate ontology-based data access over temporal data with validity time and ontologies capable of temporal conceptual modelling. To this end, we design a temporal description logic, TQL, that extends the standard ontology language OWL 2 QL, provides basic means for temporal conceptual modelling and ensures first-order rewritability of conjunctive queries for ...

Succinctness of Query Rewriting in OWL 2 QL: The Case of Tree-like Queries

This paper further investigates the succinctness landscape of query rewriting in OWL 2 QL. We clarify the worst-case size of positive existential (PE), non-recursive Datalog (NDL), and first-order (FO) rewritings for various classes of tree-like conjunctive queries, ranging from linear queries up to bounded treewidth queries. More specifically, we establish a superpolynomial lower bound on ...
