Finding Answers and Generating Explanations for Complex Biomedical Queries

Abstract: We present new methods to efficiently answer complex queries overbiomedical ontologies and databases considering the relevant partsof these knowledge resources, and to generate shortest explanationsto justify these answers. Both algorithms rely on the high-levelrepresentation and efficient solvers of Answer Set Programming. Weapply these algorithms to find answers and explanations to some complexqueries related to drug discovery, over PharmGKB, DrugBank, BioGrid, CTD and Sider.

“…With a declarative representation of the problem in ASP, one can perform various reasoning tasks, such as ontological query answering and explanation generation (Le et al 2012; Erdem et al 2011; Erdem and Oztok 2015), planning and diagnosis (Tran and Baral 2009), consistency checking and explanation generation (Gebser et al 2011), and repair and prediction (Gebser et al 2010).…”

“…To answer complex queries over a variety of biomedical ontologies (Erdem et al 2011), ASP allows us to extract relevant parts of them (thanks to external atoms) and integrate them by rules. For instance, the drug names can be extracted from a drug ontology, by first extracting the relevant triples from the ontology: tripleD(X,Y,Z)&rdf["URIforDrugOntology"](X,Y,Z)…”
