چکیده
We present a flexible framework for implementing reasoning with uncertainty: Semistructured Probabilistic Databases. This framework bridges the gap between the process of obtaining probabilistic information from data and its use in AI applications by providing the facilities to store and query diverse and complex probabilistic data.

متن کاملOn the Amount of Randomness Needed in Distributed Computations
We treat the number of random bits as a computational resource in distributed computations. We give a concrete application of these ideas by characterizing the number of random bits necessary and suucient to elect a leader in an anonymous network of processors by a probabilistic algorithm with overwhelming probability. Our main result is a proof that a constant number of random bits is actually...
