ProbLog Technology for Inference in a Probabilistic First Order Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce First Order ProbLog, an extension of first order logic with soft constraints where formulas are guarded by probabilistic facts. The paper defines a semantics for FOProbLog, develops a translation into ProbLog, a system that allows a user to compute the probability of a query in a similar setting restricted to Horn clauses, and reports on initial experience with inference.

Using Iterative Deepening for Probabilistic Logic Inference
We present a novel approach that uses an iterative deepening algorithm in order to perform probabilistic logic inference for ProbLog, a probabilistic extension of Prolog. The most used inference method for ProbLog is exact inference combined with tabling. Tabled exact inference first collects a set of SLG derivations which contain the probabilistic structure of the ProbLog program including the...
متن کاملDNF Sampling for ProbLog Inference
Inference in probabilistic logic languages such as ProbLog, an extension of Prolog with probabilistic facts, is often based on a reduction to a propositional formula in DNF. Calculating the probability of such a formula involves the disjoint-sum-problem, which is computationally hard. In this work we introduce a new approximation method for ProbLog inference which exploits the DNF to focus samp...
متن کاملOn Continuous Distributions and Parameter Estima- tion in Probabilistic Logic Programs
In the last decade remarkable progress has been made on combining statistical machine learning techniques, reasoning under uncertainty, and relational representations. The branch of Artificial Intelligence working on the synthesis of these three areas is known as statistical relational learning or probabilistic logic learning. ProbLog, one of the probabilistic frameworks developed, is an extens...
متن کاملThe PITA System for Logical-Probabilistic Inference
Probabilistic Inductive Logic Programming (PILP) is gaining interest due to its ability to model domains with complex and uncertain relations among entities. Since PILP systems generally must solve a large number of inference problems in order to perform learning, they rely critically on the support of efficient inference systems. PITA [7] is a system for reasoning under uncertainty on logic pr...
متن کاملImplementation and Performance of Probabilistic Inference Pipelines
In order to handle real-world problems, state-of-the-art probabilistic logic and learning frameworks, such as ProbLog, reduce the expensive inference to an efficient Weighted Model Counting. To do so ProbLog employs a sequence of transformation steps, called an inference pipeline. Each step in the probabilistic inference pipeline is called a pipeline component. The choice of the mechanism to im...
