Abstract

En 中文
The distribution semantics integrates logic programming and probability theory using a possible worlds approach. Its intuitiveness and simplicity have made it the most widely used semantics for probabilistic logic programming, with successful applications in many domains. When the program has function symbols, the semantics was defined for special cases: either the program has to be definite or the queries must have a finite number of finite explanations. In this paper we show that it is possible to define the semantics for all programs. We also show that this definition coincides with that of Sato and Kameya on positive programs. Moreover, we highlight possible approaches for inference, both exact and approximate. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
