Abstract
Techniques for computing a solution to a query formulated against a knowledge base (KB) are provided. The techniques include receiving a query formulated against a knowledge base, wherein the knowledge base comprises a set of one or more axioms, wherein each axiom is annotated with a specific probability value indicating a degree of certainty assigned thereto, ignoring each probability value of the one or more axioms and computing a solution to the query, computing each of one or more justifications for the query solution, wherein computing each of one or more justifications for the query solution comprises determining a minimal set of one or more axioms in the knowledge base that entail the query solution, and using each probability value of the one or more axioms in each justification to compute a net probability of an inferred query solution.
