Abstract. An effective way to examine causality is to conduct an experiment with random assignment. However, in many cases it is impossible or too expensive to perform controlled ...
This paper presents an unsupervised learning algorithm that can derive the probabilistic dependence structure of parts of an object (a moving human body in our examples) automatic...
We propose statistical predicate invention as a key problem for statistical relational learning. SPI is the problem of discovering new concepts, properties and relations in struct...
