Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) provides a powerful tool for reason- ing with uncertain relational models. However, learning probabilistic logic programs is expensive due to the high cost of inference. Among the proposals to overcome this problem, one of the most promising is lifted inference. In this paper we consider PLP models that are amenable to lifted inference and present an algorithm for performing parameter and structure learning of these models from positive and negative exam- ples. We discuss parameter learning with EM and LBFGS and structure learning with LIFTCOVER, an algorithm similar to SLIPCOVER. The results of the comparison of LIFTCOVER with SLIPCOVER on 12 datasets show that it can achieve solutions of similar or better quality in a fraction of the time.

  abstract = {
The increasing popularity of the Semantic Web drove to a wide-
spread adoption of Description Logics (DLs) for modeling real world domains.
To help the diffusion of DLs, a large number of reasoning algorithms have been
developed. Usually these algorithms are implemented in procedural languages
such as Java or C++. Most of the reasoners exploit the tableau algorithm
which features non-determinism, that is not easily handled by those languages.
Prolog directly manages non-determinism, thus is a good candidate for dealing
with the tableau's non-deterministic expansion rules.
We present TRILL, for "Tableau Reasoner for descrIption Logics in pro-
Log", that implements a tableau algorithm and is able to return explanations
for queries and their corresponding probability, and TRILLP , for "TRILL
powered by Pinpointing formulas", which is able to compute a Boolean for-
mula representing the set of explanations for a query. Reasoning on real world
domains also requires the capability of managing probabilistic and uncertain
information. We show how TRILL and TRILLP can be used to compute the
probability of queries to knowledge bases following DISPONTE semantics.
Experiments comparing these with other systems show the feasibility of the
approach.},

focused on
 functional programming  while now Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP)

In this paper we aim at presenting a quick overview of the features of current languages and systems

 PLP.
We first present the basic
semantics  for probabilistic logic programs and then consider extensions for
dealing with infinite structures and continuous random variables.
To show the modeling features of PLP in action, we present several examples:
 a simple generator of random 2D tile maps,
an encoding of Markov Logic Networks, the  truel game,
the coupon collector problem, the one-dimensional random walk, latent Dirichlet allocation and the Indian GPA problem.
These examples show the maturity of PLP.

In this paper we describe how we have extended cplint to perform causal reasoning.
In particular, we consider Pearl's do calculus for models where all
the variables are measured.
The two cplint  modules for inference, PITA and MCINTYRE, have been extended for
computing the effect of actions/interventions on these models.
We also executed experiments comparing exact and approximate inference with
conditional and causal queries, showing that causal inference is often cheaper than conditional inference.

MKNF-based Hybrid Knowledge Bases (HKBs) integrate Logic Programming (LP) and
Description Logics (DLs) offering the combined expressiveness of the two formalisms.
In particular, HKB allow to make different closure assumptions for different predicates.
HKBs have been given a well-founded semantics in terms of an alternate fixpoint.
In this paper we provide an alternative definition of the semantics using an
iterated fixpoint. In this way the computation of the well-founded model proceeds
uniformly bottom-up, making the semantics easier to understand, to reason with and to automate.
We also present slightly different but equivalent versions of our definition.
We then discuss the relationships of HKBs with other formalisms.
The results show that overall HKBs seem to be those that more tightly integrate LP and DL,
even if there exist incomparable languages such as the recent FO(ID) formalism.},

based on different domain closure assumptions, closed and the open
world assumption, respectively. Since many domains require both these
assumptions, the combination of LP and DL have become of foremost importance.
An especially successful approach is based on Minimal Knowledge
with Negation as Failure (MKNF), whose semantics is used to define
Hybrid KBs, composed of logic programming rules and description logic
axioms. Following such idea, we have proposed an approach for defining
DL-safe Probabilistic Hybrid Knowledge Bases, where each disjunct in
the head of LP clauses and each DL axiom is annotated with a probability
value, following the well known distribution semantics. In this paper,
we show that this semantics can be unintuitive for non-DL-safe PHKBs,
and we propose a new semantics that coincides with the previous one if
the PHKB is DL-safe.},

this paper we consider a restriction of the language called hierarchical
PLP in which clauses and predicates are hierarchically organized. In this
case the language becomes truth-functional and inference reduces to the
evaluation of formulas in the product fuzzy logic. Programs in this
language can also be seen as arithmetic circuits or deep neural networks
and inference can be reperformed quickly when the parameters change.
Learning can then be performed by EM or backpropagation.},

Abductive Logic Programming (ALP) has been proven very
effective for formalizing societies of agents, commitments and norms, in
particular by mapping the most common deontic operators (obligation,
prohibition, permission) to abductive expectations.
In our previous works, we have shown that ALP is a suitable framework
for representing norms. Normative reasoning and query answering were
accommodated by the same abductive proof procedure, named SCIFF.
In this work, we introduce a defeasible
flavour in this framework, in order
to possibly discharge obligations in some scenarios. Abductive expectations
can also be qualified as dischargeable, in the new, extended syntax.
Both declarative and operational semantics are improved accordingly,
and proof of soundness is given under syntax allowedness conditions.
The expressiveness and power of the extended framework, named SCIFFD,
is shown by modeling and reasoning upon a fragment of the Japanese
Civil Code. In particular, we consider a case study concerning manifestations
of intention and their rescission (Section II of the Japanese Civil
Code).},

Therefore it is crucial to find an automatic way to understand a text written by a human.

\texttt{cplint} on SWISH is a web application that allows users to
perform reasoning tasks on probabilistic logic programs.
Both inference and learning systems can be performed: conditional probabilities with exact,
rejection sampling and Metropolis-Hasting methods. Moreover, the system now allows hybrid programs,
i.e., programs where some of the random variables are continuous. To perform inference on such programs likelihood weighting and particle filtering are used.
\texttt{cplint} on SWISH is also able to sample goals' arguments and
to graph the results. This paper reports on advances and new features
of \texttt{cplint} on SWISH, including the capability of drawing the
binary decision diagrams created during the inference processes.

We present the web application TRILL on SWISH, which allows the user to write probabilistic Description Logic (DL) theories and compute the probability of queries with just a web browser.
Various probabilistic extensions of DLs have been proposed  in the recent past, since uncertainty is a fundamental component of the Semantic Web.
We consider probabilistic DL theories following our DISPONTE semantics.  Axioms of a DISPONTE Knowledge Base (KB) can be annotated with a probability and the probability of queries can be computed with inference algorithms.
TRILL is a probabilistic reasoner for DISPONTE KBs that is implemented in Prolog  and exploits its backtracking facilities for handling the non-determinism of the tableau algorithm.
TRILL on SWISH is based on SWISH, a recently proposed web framework for logic programming, based on various features and packages of SWI-Prolog (e.g., a web server and a library for creating remote Prolog engines and  posing queries to them).  TRILL on SWISH also allows users to cooperate in writing a probabilistic DL theory.
It is free, open, and accessible on the Web at the url: \trillurl; it includes a number of examples that cover a wide range of domains and provide interesting Probabilistic Semantic Web applications.
By building a web-based system, we allow users to experiment with Probabilistic DLs without the need to install a complex software stack. In this way we aim to reach out to a wider audience and popularize the Probabilistic Semantic Web.

Lifted inference aims at answering queries from statistical relational models by reasoning on populations of individuals as a
whole instead of considering each individual singularly.
Since the initial proposal by David Poole in 2003, many lifted inference techniques have appeared, by lifting different algorithms or using approximation involving different kinds of models, including parfactor graphs and Markov Logic Networks.
Very recently lifted inference was applied to Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP) under the distribution semantics, with proposals such as LP2 and Weighted First-Order Model Counting
(WFOMC). Moreover, techniques for dealing with aggregation parfactors can be directly applied to PLP.
In this paper we survey these approaches and present an
experimental comparison on five models.
The results show that  WFOMC outperforms the other approaches, being able to exploit more symmetries.
