An important drawback to the popular Belief, Desire, and Intentions (BDI) paradigm is that such systems include no element of learning from experience. In particular, the so-calle...
Managing uncertain data using probabilistic frameworks has attracted much interest lately in the database literature, and a central computational challenge is probabilistic infere...
A formula in first-order logic can be viewed as a tree, with a logical connective at each node, and a knowledge base can be viewed as a tree whose root is a conjunction. Markov l...
Many real-world classification applications fall into the class of positive and unlabeled (PU) learning problems. In many such applications, not only could the negative training ex...
A standard method for approximating averages in probabilistic models is to construct a Markov chain in the product space of the random variables with the desired equilibrium distr...
