A variable is local if it occurs in a clause body but not in its head. Local variables appear naturally in practical logic programming, but they complicate several aspects such as ...
Programs in modern functional logic languages are rewrite systems following the constructor discipline but where confluence and termination are not required, thus defining possi...
In this paper, we put forth the first join tree propagation algorithm that selectively applies either arc reversal (AR) or variable elimination (VE) to build the propagated messag...
Compiling Bayesian networks has proven an effective approach for inference that can utilize both global and local network structure. In this paper, we define a new method of comp...
In the original formulation of influence diagrams (IDs), each model contained exactly one utility node. Tatman and Shachter (1990), introduced the possibility of having super-valu...
