Abstract

We prove that any concept in any description logic that extends \(\mathcal{ALC}\) with some features amongst I (inverse), Q k (quantified number restrictions with numbers bounded by a constant k), Self (local reflexivity of a role) can be learnt if the training information system is good enough. That is, there exists a learning algorithm such that, for every concept C of those logics, there exists a training information system consistent with C such that applying the learning algorithm to the system results in a concept equivalent to C.
