A Short Introduction to Probabilistic Soft Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
Probabilistic soft logic (PSL) is a framework for collective, probabilistic reasoning in relational domains. PSL uses first order logic rules as a template language for graphical models over random variables with soft truth values from the interval [0, 1]. Inference in this setting is a continuous optimization task, which can be solved efficiently. This paper provides an overview of the PSL language and its techniques for inference and weight learning. An implementation of PSL is available at http://psl.umiacs.umd.edu/.

A Design Methodology for Reliable MRF-Based Logic Gates
Probabilistic-based methods have been used for designing noise tolerant circuits recently. In these methods, however, there is not any reliability mechanism that is essential for nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In this paper, we propose a novel method for designing reliable probabilistic-based logic gates. The advantage of the proposed method in comparison with previous probabilistic-based met...
متن کاملProbabilistic Soft Logic for Semantic Textual Similarity
Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL) is a recently developed framework for probabilistic logic. We use PSL to combine logical and distributional representations of natural-language meaning, where distributional information is represented in the form of weighted inference rules. We apply this framework to the task of Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) (i.e. judging the semantic similarity of naturallan...
متن کاملSemantic Parsing using Distributional Semantics and Probabilistic Logic
We propose a new approach to semantic parsing that is not constrained by a fixed formal ontology and purely logical inference. Instead, we use distributional semantics to generate only the relevant part of an on-the-fly ontology. Sentences and the on-the-fly ontology are represented in probabilistic logic. For inference, we use probabilistic logic frameworks like Markov Logic Networks (MLN) and...
متن کاملUTexas: Natural Language Semantics using Distributional Semantics and Probabilistic Logic
We represent natural language semantics by combining logical and distributional information in probabilistic logic. We use Markov Logic Networks (MLN) for the RTE task, and Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL) for the STS task. The system is evaluated on the SICK dataset. Our best system achieves 73% accuracy on the RTE task, and a Pearson’s correlation of 0.71 on the STS task.
متن کاملDecision-Driven Models with Probabilistic Soft Logic
We introduce the concept of a decision-driven model, a probabilistic model that reasons directly over the uncertain information of interest to a decision maker. We motivate the use of these models from the perspective of personalized medicine. Decision-driven models have a number of benefits that are of particular value in this domain, such as being easily interpretable and naturally quantifyin...
