Probabilistic Inductive Logic Programming

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - One of the key open questions within arti cial intelligence is how to combine probability and logic with learning.

The book starts with an introductory chapter to Probabilistic Inductive LogicProgramming byDeRaedtandKersting.Inasecondpart,itprovidesa detailedoverviewofthemostimportantprobabilisticlogiclearningformalisms and systems. We are very pleased and proud that the scientists behind the key probabilistic inductive logic programming systems (also those developed outside the APRIL project) have kindly contributed a chapter providing an overviewoftheircontributions.Thisincludes:relationalsequencelearningte- niques (Kersting et al.), using kernels with logical representations (Frasconi andPasserini),MarkovLogic(Domingosetal.), the PRISMsystem (Satoand Kameya),CLP(BN)(SantosCostaetal.),BayesianLogicPrograms(Kersting andDeRaedt),andtheIndependentChoiceLogic(Poole).Thethirdpartthen provides a detailed account of some show-caseapplications of probabilistic - ductive logic programming, more speci cally: in protein fold discovery (Chen et al.), haplotyping (Landwehr and Mielik ainen) and systems biology (Fages andSoliman).
