Temporal Probabilistic Logic Programs: State and Revision

Abstract: There are numerous applications where we have to deal with temporal uncertainty associated with events. The Temporal Probabilistic (TP) Logic Programs should provide support for valid-time indeterminacy of events, by proposing the concept of an indeterminate instant, that is, an interval of time-points (event's time-window) with an associated, lower and upper, probability distribution. In particular, we propose the new semantics, for the TP Logic Programs of Dekhtyar and Subrahmanian. Our semantics, based on the possible world semantics is a generalization of the possible world semantics for (non temporal) Probabilistic Logic Programming, and we define the new syntax for PT-programs, with time variable explicitly represented in all atoms, and show how the standard role of Herbrand interpretations used as possible worlds for probability distributions is coherently extended to Temporal Probabilistic Logic Programming.
