Notes:
Probabilistic Consistency Engine (PCE) is a tool for probabilistic inference based on Markov Logic, which is a formal framework for representing and reasoning about probabilistic knowledge. PCE is used to infer the marginal probabilities of formulas based on facts and rules, and it can be used as a tool for Markov Logic Network (MLN) inference.
PCE is often used to extract semantic information from syntactic information by applying probabilistic inference to an MLN that captures domain-specific rules. Yices, a MAX-SMT solver, is a main component of PCE that is used in SRI’s CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes) system.
A dynamic Markov logic network (D-MLN) is a probabilistic graphical model that is used to represent and reason about dynamic systems and processes. It is a type of Markov logic network (MLN) that is specifically designed to handle temporal or sequential data, and to model the evolution of a system over time.
D-MLN combines the principles of Markov networks, which are used to represent probabilistic dependencies between variables, with the principles of logic programming, which are used to represent logical rules and constraints. This allows D-MLN to represent complex, probabilistic relationships between variables and to reason about these relationships in a flexible and expressive way.
Probabilistic Consistency Engine (PCE) is a tool for probabilistic inference that can be used with D-MLN to perform probabilistic reasoning and make predictions about dynamic systems. PCE is designed to work with MLN as a formal framework, and it can be used to infer the marginal probabilities of formulas based on facts and rules.
