Inconsistency handling is an important issue in knowledge management. Especially in ontology engineering, logical inconsistencies may occur during ontology construction. A natural way to reason with an inconsistent ontology is to utilize the maximal consistent subsets of the ontology. However, previous studies on selecting maximum consistent subsets have rarely considered the semantics of the axioms, which may result in irrational inference. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to reasoning with inconsistent ontologies in description logics based on the embeddings of axioms. We first give a method for turning axioms into distributed semantic vectors to compute the semantic connections between the axioms. We then define an embedding-based method for selecting the maximum consistent subsets and use it to define an inconsistency-tolerant inference relation. We show the rationality of our inference relation by considering some logical properties. Finally, we conduct experiments on several ontologies to evaluate the reasoning power of our inference relation. The experimental results show that our embedding-based method can outperform existing inconsistency-tolerant reasoning methods based on maximal consistent subsets.

Frequent false alarms impede the promotion of unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms in industrial applications. Potential characteristics of false alarms depending on the trained detector are revealed by investigating density probability distributions of prediction scores in the out-of-distribution anomaly detection tasks. An SVM-based classifier is exploited as a post-processing module to identify false alarms from the anomaly map at the object level. Besides, a sample synthesis strategy is devised to incorporate fuzzy prior knowledge on the specific application in the anomaly-free training dataset. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed method comprehensively improves the performances of two segmentation models at both image and pixel levels on two industrial applications.
