Description for Probabilistic Logics and Probabilistic Networks
Hardback. Probabilistic Logic and Probabilistic Networks presents a groundbreaking framework within which various approaches to probabilistic logic naturally fit. Additionally, the text shows how to develop computationally feasible methods to mesh with this framework. Series: Synthese Library. Num Pages: 155 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPK; HPL; PBT; PDA; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 243 x 166 x 14. Weight in Grams: 496.
While probabilistic logics in principle might be applied to solve a range of problems, in practice they are rarely applied - perhaps because they seem disparate, complicated, and computationally intractable. This programmatic book argues that several approaches to probabilistic logic fit into a simple unifying framework in which logically complex evidence is used to associate probability intervals or probabilities with sentences. Specifically, Part I shows that there is a natural way to present a question posed in probabilistic logic, and that various inferential procedures provide semantics for that question, while Part II shows that there is the potential to develop ...

Reviews for Probabilistic Logics and Probabilistic Networks
“The authors have a wide range of experience in this field and, with this book, they aim at the ambitious and meaningful goal of showing how several distinct approaches to probabilistic logic can be incorporated into a general framework. … It will be particularly appreciated by researchers who would like a unifying view of the several approaches to probabilistic logic.” ...
