Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP) is a powerful paradigm for the representation of uncertain relations among objects. Recently, programs with continuous variables, also called hybrid programs, have been proposed and assigned a semantics. Hybrid programs are capable of representing real-world measurements but unfortunately the semantics proposal was imprecise so the definition did not assign a probability to all queries. In this paper, we remedy this and formally define a new semantics for hybrid programs. We prove that the semantics assigns a probability to all queries for a large class of programs.

Abstract

Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP) is a powerful paradigm for the representation of uncertain relations among objects. Recently, programs with continuous variables, also called hybrid programs, have been proposed and assigned a semantics. Hybrid programs are capable of representing real-world measurements but unfortunately the semantics proposal was imprecise so the definition did not assign a probability to all queries. In this paper, we remedy this and formally define a new semantics for hybrid programs. We prove that the semantics assigns a probability to all queries for a large class of programs.
