Supporting Psychometric Instrument Usage Through the POEM Ontology

Authors: Kelsey Rook, Henrique Santos, Deborah L. McGuinness, Manuel S. Sprung, Paulo Pinheiro, and Bruce F. Chorpita

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 3 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 3

Abstract
Psychometrics is the field relating to the measurement of concepts within psychology, particularly the assessment of various social and psychological dimensions in humans. The relationship between psychometric entities is critical to finding an appropriate assessment instrument, especially in the context of clinical psychology and mental healthcare in which providing the best care based on empirical evidence is crucial. We aim to model these entities, which include psychometric questionnaires and their component elements, the subject and respondent, and the latent variables being assessed. The current standard for questionnaire-based assessment relies on text-based distributions of instruments; so, a structured representation is necessary to capture these relationships to enhance accessibility and use of existing measures, encourage reuse of questionnaires and their component elements, and enable sophisticated reasoning over assessment instruments and results by increasing interoperability. We present the design process and architecture of such a domain ontology, the Psychometric Ontology of Experiences and Measures, situating it within the context of related ontologies, and demonstrating its practical utility through evaluation against a series of competency questions concerning the creation, use, and reuse of psychometric questionnaires in clinical, research, and development settings.

Cache Timing Leakages in Zero-Knowledge Protocols

Authors: Shibam Mukherjee, Christian Rechberger, and Markus Schofnegger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 354, 7th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2025)

Abstract
The area of modern zero-knowledge proof systems has seen a significant rise in popularity over the last couple of years, with new techniques and optimized constructions emerging on a regular basis. As the field matures, the aspect of implementation attacks becomes more relevant, however side-channel attacks on zero-knowledge proof systems have seen surprisingly little treatment so far. In this paper, we give an overview of potential attack vectors and show that some of the underlying finite field libraries, and implementations of heavily used components like hash functions using them, are vulnerable w.r.t. cache attacks on CPUs. On the positive side, we demonstrate that the computational overhead to protect against these attacks is relatively small.

Whelk: An OWL EL+RL Reasoner Enabling New Use Cases

Authors: James P. Balhoff and Christopher J. Mungall

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 2 (2024): Special Issue on Resources for Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 2

Abstract
Many tasks in the biosciences rely on reasoning with large OWL terminologies (Tboxes), often combined with even larger databases. In particular, a common task is retrieval queries that utilize relational expressions; for example, “find all genes expressed in the brain or any part of the brain”. Automated reasoning on these ontologies typically relies on scalable reasoners targeting the EL subset of OWL, such as ELK. While the introduction of ELK has been transformative in the incorporation of reasoning into bio-ontology quality control and production pipelines, we have encountered limitations when applying it to use cases involving high throughput query answering or reasoning about datasets describing instances (Aboxes). Whelk is a fast OWL reasoner for combined EL+RL reasoning. As such, it is particularly useful for many biological ontology tasks, particularly those characterized by large Tboxes using the EL subset of OWL, combined with Aboxes targeting the RL subset of OWL. Whelk is implemented in Scala and utilizes immutable functional data structures, which provides advantages when performing incremental or dynamic reasoning tasks. Whelk supports querying complex class expressions at a substantially greater rate than ELK, and can answer queries or perform incremental reasoning tasks in parallel, enabling novel applications of OWL reasoning.

Knowledge Graphs for the Life Sciences: Recent Developments, Challenges and Opportunities

Authors: Jiaoyan Chen, Hang Dong, Janna Hastings, Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz, Vanessa López, Pierre Monnin, Catia Pesquita, Petr Škoda, and Valentina Tamma

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1

Abstract
The term life sciences refers to the disciplines that study living organisms and life processes, and include chemistry, biology, medicine, and a range of other related disciplines. Research efforts in life sciences are heavily data-driven, as they produce and consume vast amounts of scientific data, much of which is intrinsically relational and graph-structured. The volume of data and the complexity of scientific concepts and relations referred to therein promote the application of advanced knowledge-driven technologies for managing and interpreting data, with the ultimate aim to advance scientific discovery. In this survey and position paper, we discuss recent developments and advances in the use of graph-based technologies in life sciences and set out a vision for how these technologies will impact these fields into the future. We focus on three broad topics: the construction and management of Knowledge Graphs (KGs), the use of KGs and associated technologies in the discovery of new knowledge, and the use of KGs in artificial intelligence applications to support explanations (explainable AI). We select a few exemplary use cases for each topic, discuss the challenges and open research questions within these topics, and conclude with a perspective and outlook that summarizes the overarching challenges and their potential solutions as a guide for future research.

Time-Space Lower Bounds for the Polynomial-Time Hierarchy on Randomized Machines

Authors: Scott Diehl and Dieter van Melkebeek

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6111, Complexity of Boolean Functions (2006)

Abstract
In this talk, we establish lower bounds for the running time of randomized machines with two-sided error which use a small amount of workspace to solve complete problems in the polynomial-time hierarchy. In particular, we show that for integers $l > 1$, a randomized machine with two-sided error using subpolynomial space requires time $n^{l - o(1)}$ to solve QSATl, where QSATl denotes the problem of deciding the validity of a Boolean first-order formula with at most $l-1$ quantifier alternations. This represents the first time-space lower bounds for complete problems in the polynomial-time hierarchy on randomized machines with two-sided error. Corresponding to $l = 1$, we show that a randomized machine with one-sided error using subpolynomial space requires time $n^{1.759}$ to decide the set of Boolean tautologies. As a corollary, this gives the same lower bound for satisfiability on deterministic machines, improving on the previously best known such result.
