Conditioning probabilistic databases
Past research on probabilistic databases has studied the problem of answering queries on a static database. Application scenarios of probabilistic databases however often involve the conditioning of a database using additional information in the form of new evidence. The conditioning problem is thus to transform a probabilistic database of priors into a posterior probabilistic database which is...
متن کاملProbabilistic Databases
This paper provides a glimpse of basic probabilistic database concepts, which is an active area of research in today’s world. The discussion starts with the need for probabilistic databases, and their advantages over conventional databases in certain circumstances. Then, some of the key aspects of probabilistic databases are discussed, which include topics like types of uncertainties in a proba...
متن کاملOpen-World Probabilistic Databases
Large-scale probabilistic knowledge bases are becoming increasingly important in academia and industry alike. They are constantly extended with new data, powered by modern information extraction tools that associate probabilities with database tuples. In this paper, we revisit the semantics underlying such systems. In particular, the closed-world assumption of probabilistic databases, that fact...
متن کاملProbabilistic Databases ∗ Dan
Many applications today need to manage large data sets with uncertainties. In this paper we describe the foundations of managing data where the uncertainties are quantified as probabilities. We review the basic definitions of the probabilistic data model and present some fundamental theoretical results for query evaluation on probabilistic databases. 1 The Quest for Probabilistic Databases Comm...
متن کاملProbabilistic belief expansion and conditioning
The paper discusses probabilistic belief change, in particular the type of change occurring when information is added which is consistent with the old beliefs. In the AGM theory of belief revision this type of belief change is known as an expansion, and is usually considered to be easy compared to revision and contraction, the two other main types of belief changes the AGM theory distinguishes....
