Syntactic Simplification of OWL Class Expressions
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.18899v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Class expression learning often produces complex OWL class expressions that are difficult to interpret and reason over. However, by following theoretically grounded simplification principles, this complexity can be reduced. In this paper, we propose Class Expression Simplifier (CES), a novel algorithm for the syntactic simplification of class expressions in Description Logics (DL). CES aims to preserve formal semantics while reducing representational complexity. It systematically applies rewriting rules to eliminate redundancies and identify simp

Why it matters
“Syntactic Simplification of OWL Class Expressions” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
