Combined approaches for scalable reasoning on rich queries

Negation and aggregation are key features for deeply impactful data-analysis. Yet, it is well known that when equipping declarative rule- languages with such features reasoning becomes infeasible. In this thesis, we are focusing on the development of novel algorithms for rich queries based on existential rules [1], including such features, but by focusing our attention on practically relevant fragments of rules including negation (starting from semi-positive rules) and aggregation, which are known to ensure decidability and tractability. The originality of our work will consist in the study of combined-approaches leveraging on query-rewriting and materialisation techniques which will pave the way to scalable reasoning on top of existing database technology. Any implementations will be included in the InteGraal library (gitlab.inria.fr/rules/integraal).
