The ontology knowledge base (KB) can be divided into two parts: TBox and ABox, where the former models schema-level knowledge within the domain, and the latter is a set of statements of assertions or facts about instances. ABox reasoning is a process of discovering implicit knowledge in ABox based on the existing KB, which is of great value in KB applications. ABox reasoning is influenced by both the complexity of TBox and scale of ABox. The traditional logic-based ontology reasoning methods are usually designed to be provably sound and complete but suffer from long algorithm runtimes and do not scale well for ontology KB represented by OWL DL (Description Logic). In some application scenarios, the soundness and completeness of reasoning results are not the key constraints, and it is acceptable to sacrifice them in exchange for the improvement of reasoning efficiency to some extent. Based on this view, an approximate reasoning method for large-scale ABox in OWL DL KBs was proposed, which is named the ChunfyReasoner (CFR). The CFR introduces neural-symbolic learning into ABox reasoning and integrates the advantages of symbolic systems and neural networks (NNs). By training the NN model, the CFR approximately compiles the logic deduction process of ontology reasoning, which can greatly improve the reasoning speed while ensuring higher reasoning quality. In this paper, we state the basic idea, framework, and construction process of the CFR in detail, and we conduct experiments on two open-source ontologies built on OWL DL. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of our method and show that the CFR can support the applications of large-scale ABox reasoning of OWL DL KBs.
Autonomous target recognition (ATR) plays a crucial role in maintaining situational awareness during environmental monitoring. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with autonomous target recognition technology can gather and analyze real-time information about targets, including their locations, sizes, and types. However, UAV-captured images in complex real-world environments often display significant variations in perspective and scale due to changes in UAV altitude and distance. Existing methods for autonomous target recognition on UAVs struggle to capture targets from large field-of-view and multi-scale images, resulting in low recognition accuracy and high false-positive rates. This paper introduces two novel Slimmable neural network models, namely SE-YOLOv5s and ST-YOLOv5s, which are based on the YOLOv5s architecture. These models incorporate the Squeeze and Excitation and Swin-Transformer mechanisms to enhance the ability to extract features from large field-of-view and multi-scale images. To evaluate their performance, experiments were conducted on the Visdrone19 aerial dataset. Compared to the state-of-the-art YOLOv5s algorithm, the utilization of SE-YOLOv5s and ST-YOLOv5s for autonomous target recognition on low-altitude drones resulted in improvements in both accuracy and false-positive rates. These proposed methods combine Slimmable neural network design with feature enhancement mechanisms, addressing the challenges posed by complex real-world environments in UAV missions. The advancements in autonomous target recognition on low-altitude drones will significantly contribute to enhancing situational awareness in future environmental monitoring.
