Statistical relational artificial intelligence and first-order logics of probability

May 16, 2022: on Zoom, h. 17:00-19:00 (Milan time).

Abstract:

After a general introduction to both components of the title, we will see how the lens of first-order logics of probability can suggest approaches to two interlinked problems in statistical relational AI, both of which have recently garnered much attention in the field:

(1) How can one apply statistical relational methods on large domains given the high complexity of learning and inference?

(2) How can parameters learned on one domain be transferred to a domain of different size?

(*) How can one reconcile these priorities with expressivity and a natural syntax and semantics?

The meeting will be held in English.

Participation is strongly recommended to students of the Doctoral School in Philosophy and Human Sciences and to students of the Doctoral School of Mind, Brain, and Reasoning.

Everyone interested is welcome to attend.
