Ontologies are widely used to represent and organize complex knowledge in domains such as biomedicine and healthcare. However, constructing reliable ontologies remains challenging, as class hierarchies, whether manually or automatically constructed, may contain subtle subsumption errors that require careful refinement. We study this problem in CASTON, a casting-domain ontology, and present a lightweight but scalable refinement workflow that combines a fine-tuned ontology embedding model with Large Language Models (LLMs). The embedding model is used to extract a limited number of candidate axioms for refinement together with possible replacement candidates, and an LLM then returns repair suggestions. In a small expert evaluation, the default configuration using a CASTON-fine-tuned OnT embedding model and Qwen3-8B produced reliable high-confidence repairs: all six high-confidence replacements were accepted by both domain experts. The implementation is available at https://github.com/HuiYang1997/OntRefine.

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
The results are packaged in the Greenfield Startup Model (GSM), which explains the priority of startups to release the product as quickly as possible, and the need to shorten time-to-market, by speeding up the development through low-precision engineering activities.
