Markov Logic Networks

by Matthew Richardson, Pedro Domingos - MACHINE LEARNING , 2006
"... We propose a simple approach to combining first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models in a single representation. A Markov logic network (MLN) is a first-order knowledge base with a weight attached to each formula (or clause). Together with a set of constants representing objects in the ..."

Hybrid markov logic networks.

by Jue Wang , Pedro Domingos - In Proceedings of the Twenty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), , 2008
"... Abstract Markov logic networks (MLNs) combine first-order logic and Markov networks, allowing us to handle the complexity and uncertainty of real-world problems in a single consistent framework. However, in MLNs all variables and features are discrete, while most real-world applications also contai ..."

Learning the structure of Markov logic networks

by Stanley Kok, Pedro Domingos - In Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Machine Learning , 2005
"... Markov logic networks (MLNs) combine logic and probability by attaching weights to first-order clauses, and viewing these as templates for features of Markov networks. In this paper we develop an algorithm for learning the structure of MLNs from relational databases, combining ideas from inductive l ..."

Discriminative training of markov logic networks

by Parag Singla, Pedro Domingos - In Proc. of the Natl. Conf. on Artificial Intelligence , 2005

Markov logic networks (MLNs) accomplish this by attaching weights to first-order clauses, and viewing these as templates for features of Markov networks. Model parameters (i.e., clause weights) can be lear ..."

Reinforcement learning with markov logic networks

by Weiwei Wang, Yang Gao, Xingguo Chen, Shen Ge - In Proceedigns of European Workshop on Reinforcement Learning , 2008
"... Abstract. In this paper, we propose a method to combine reinforcement learning (RL) and Markov logic networks (MLN). RL usually does not consider the inherent relations or logical connections of the features. Markov logic networks combines first-order logic and graphical model and it can represent a ..."

Transfer learning with Markov logic networks

by Lilyana Mihalkova, Raymond Mooney - 2006. Proceedings of the ICML-06 Workshop on Structural Knowledge Transfer for Machine Learning
"... We propose a new algorithm for transfer learning of Markov Logic Network (MLN) structure. An important aspect of our ap-proach is that it first diagnoses the provided source MLN and then focuses on re-learning only the incorrect portions. Experiments in a pair of synthetic domains demonstrate that t ..."

On Generative Parameterisations of Markov logic networks

by James Cussens, P (x Z
"... Given some fixed first-order language, a Markov logic network (MLN) (Domingos et al., 2008) uses weighted formulae to define a probability distribution over Herbrand interpretations of the language. (To save space a Herbrand interpretation will be called a ‘world’ from now on. In this paper all such ..."

Event modeling and recognition using markov logic networks

by Son D. Tran, Larry S. Davis - IN ECCV , 2008
"... We address the problem of visual event recognition in surveillance where noise and missing observations are serious problems. Common sense domain knowledge is exploited to overcome them. The knowledge is represented as first-order logic production rules with associated weights to indicate their con ..."

The network is used to perform probabilistic inference for input queries about events of interest. The system’s performance is demonstrated on a number
