The Joy of Probabilistic Answer Set Programming

Abstract

Probabilistic answer set programming (PASP) combines rules, facts, and independent probabilistic facts. Often one restricts such programs so that every query yields a sharp probability value. The purpose of this paper is to argue that a very useful modeling language is obtained by adopting a particular credal semantics for PASP, where one associates with each consistent program a credal set. We examine the basic properties of PASP and present an algorithm to compute (upper) probabilities given a program.
