Markov Logic: An Interface Layer for Artificial Intelligence

Domingos, Pedro, Lowd, Daniel

Morgan & Claypool Publishers 

Most subfields of computer science have an interface layer via which applications communicate with the infrastructure, and this is key to their success (e.g., the Internet in networking, the relational model in databases, etc.). So far this interface layer has been missing in AI. This book discusses Markov logic, a powerful language that has been successfully applied as an interface layer. ISBN 9781598296921, 155 pages.
