Markov Logic Networks

Markov Logic Networks, a combination of First Order Logic and Markov Networks, is a new graphical model which will be very important for AI modeling in the future. Prof. Pedro Domingos at Univ. of Washington is a pioneer in this field. There are some major references given by him:

1) New book "Markov Logic - An Interface Layer for AI".
Another editorial book: "Integrating Logic and Statistics: Novel Algorithms in Markov Logic Networks" by Marenglen Biba

2) The course about Markov Logic Networks given by Prof. Pedro Domingos at Univ. of Washington.

3) The article "What's missing in AI - The Interface Layer".

4) Alchemy - Open source AI: http://alchemy.cs.washington.edu/

I wonder whether some NLP problems can benefit from such a new model.

Graphical Models in a Nutshell

The paper by Prof. Daphne Koller :
http://robotics.stanford.edu/~koller/Papers/Koller+al:SRL07.pdf

MUST read this paper to understand the underlying principles behind graphical models before proceeding to investigate more!

Probability and Logic

Combining Probability and Logic - Journal of Applied Logic

This article is generally about how to use probability in combination with logic, also called language logic or metalanguage. It has been proven that probabilistic approaches have been getting more and more important in the field of Natural Language Processing and text processing.

Should read this article!
