Abstracting Markov Networks

Learning, which aims at combining probabilistic graphical Markov networks have proved to be a very useful tool to models with first order logics representations. The represent probability distributions over large domains (see work that we present in this paper has been motivated by for instance, Chapter 8 in (Bishop 2006)). A Markov Network Markov Logic Networks (MLN), introduced in (Richardson is an undirected graphical model, where variables are and Domingos 2006). A Markov Logic Network is defined represented by nodes and features on subsets of variables by a set of weighted first-order formulas.
