Hi Aaron!
Would be great to work with someone from Cray but I don't have a good idea how to use ML here,
nor indeed a lot of trust in using ML to produce or fix mappings.

E.g. see this exchange:

Generating 30% wrong prop maps for the Ukrainian dbpedia is IMHO doing them a disservice!
Who's gonna clean up all this?

I guess I'm more of a MLab (Manual Labor) guy, I just learned they coined such alias for crowdsourcing:

She IS the mother, not sure what you mean.

Here a simple post-extraction cleanup can take care of it: 
remove all statements that violate range (so dbo:parent [[England]] will be removed).
But we dare not do it, because many of the ranges are imprecise, or set wishfully without regard to existing data / mappings.
(As usual, the real data is more complex than any model of it.)

So we need to check our Ontological Assumptions and precise domains/ranges before such cleanup.
See example in http://vladimiralexiev.github.io/pres/20150209-dbpedia/dbpedia-problems-long.html#sec-6-7
