How Rules Represent Causal Knowledge: Causal Modeling with Probabilistic Logic Programming
arXiv:2607. 21208v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pearl famously argues that causal knowledge enables the prediction of intervention effects.
arXiv:2607. 21233v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Motivated by challenging modelling issues in the life sciences, we investigate the relationship between logic programming semantics and the eventual states of causal processes compatible with those logic programs.
arXiv:2607. 21208v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pearl famously argues that causal knowledge enables the prediction of intervention effects.
Pearl famously argues that causal knowledge enables the prediction of intervention effects. By contrast, purely descriptive knowledge supports only conclusions drawn from observations.
arXiv:2608. 07230v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Probabilistic logic programming is a formalism of statistical relational artificial intelligence that supports causal queries, including interventions from outside the system.
arXiv:2607. 26787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are widely used as decision-making models, commonly specified over factored state spaces through state variables and their valuations.
arXiv:2605. 29965v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The development of temporal extensions of Answer Set Programming (ASP) has led to the emergence of non-monotonic linear-time (TEL), dynamic (DEL), and metric (MEL) temporal equilibrium logics.
arXiv:2607. 21203v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Description logic programs are a powerful formalism for combining rules with ontologies.
Structural causal models are the standard language for reasoning about interventions and counterfactuals, but they describe static variables, typically measured once, and usually forbid cyclic dependencies. Many systems we care about, such as patients, climates, and economies, instead evolve continuously in time, are observed at irregular time points, and contain feedback loops.
arXiv:2607. 22910v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pearl's structural causal model (SCM) framework, built on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and the do-calculus, is the dominant formal language for causal reasoning.
arXiv:2607. 21202v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hybrid MKNF knowledge bases under the well-founded semantics integrate Description Logics with Logic Programming.
Description logic programs are a powerful formalism for combining rules with ontologies. The well-supported semantics for description logic programs ensures that no answer sets rely on cyclic dependencies.
arXiv:2606. 29681v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Probabilistic model checking for Markov decision processes (MDPs) provides quantitative guarantees, but often offers limited insight into why undesired outcomes occur.
arXiv:2510. 17944v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we generalize Pearl's do-calculus to an Intuitionistic setting called $j$-stable causal inference inside a topos of sheaves.
