A new method is proposed for exploiting causal independencies in exact Bayesian network inference. A Bayesian network can be viewed as representing a factorization of a joint probability into the multiplication of a set of conditional…

We study various notions of dependency in semiring team semantics. Semiring teams are essentially database relations, where each tuple is annotated with some element from a positive semiring. We consider semiring generalizations of several…

Large language model (LLM) evaluation platforms increasingly rely on pairwise human judgments. These data are noisy, sparse, and non-uniform, yet leaderboards are reported with limited uncertainty quantification. We study this as…

In this paper we formulate the problem of inference under incomplete information in very general terms. This includes modelling the process responsible for the incompleteness, which we call the incompleteness process. We allow the process…

A new information theoretic condition is presented for reconstructing a discrete random variable $X$ based on the knowledge of a set of discrete functions of $X$. The reconstruction condition is derived from Shannon's 1953 lattice theory…

We continue the work on the relations between independence logic and the model-theoretic analysis of independence, generalizing the results of [15] and [16] to the framework of abstract independence relations for an arbitrary AEC. We give a…

The rules of d-separation provide a framework for deriving conditional independence facts from model structure. However, this theory only applies to simple directed graphical models. We introduce relational d-separation, a theory for…

We prove completeness results for a wide variety of intuitionistic conditional logics. We do so by first using a canonical model construction obtain completeness with respect to descriptive conditional frames, and then introducing the…
