CFP: Probability, Logic and Learning - special issue of TPLP
Call for Papers
Theory and Practice of Logic Programming
Special Issue on Probability, Logic and Learning
There has recently been considerable attention concerning the
combination of probability, logic and learning in the artificial
intelligence and machine learning communities. Computational logic often
plays a major role in these developments since it forms the theoretical
backbone for much of the work in probabilistic programming, and logical
and relational learning. On the other hand, much of the contemporary
work in this area is very much application and experiment driven, and
often devotes less attention to the general culture of logic programming
which is concerned with the theoretical foundations of the underlying
formalisms and inference procedures and with advanced implementation
technology that scales well.
For this special issue we invite high-quality papers on all aspects of
probability, logic and learning. Of particular interest are papers that
contribute theoretical insights, discuss advanced implementation
techniques, or propose probabilistic programming pearls. Probabilistic
programming pearls are examples of elegant and effective probabilistic
logic programs. High quality review papers are also welcome.
Specific topics of interest include:
* Lifted inference techniques for probabilistic logic programming
* Studies of probabilistic and logical inference methods
* Deciding and acting using probabilistic logics
* Dynamic probabilistic logics
* Learning in probabilistic logics
* Inductive logic programming
* Relationships of probabilistic logic programming to other areas
* Probabilistic databases
