Deep learning has been used with great success in a number of diverse applications, ranging from image processing to game playing, and the fast progress of this learning paradigm has even been seen as paving the way towards general artificial intelligence. However, the current deep learning models are still principally limited in many ways. This book, ‘Deep Learning with Relational Logic Representations’, addresses the limited expressiveness of the common tensor-based learning representation used in standard deep learning, by generalizing it to relational representations based in mathematical logic. This is the natural formalism for the relational data omnipresent in the interlinked structures of the Internet and relational databases, as well as for the background knowledge often present in the form of relational rules and constraints. These are impossible to properly exploit with standard neural networks, but the book introduces a new declarative deep relational learning framework called Lifted Relational Neural Networks, which generalizes the standard deep learning models into the relational setting by means of a ‘lifting’ paradigm, known from Statistical Relational Learning. The author explains how this approach allows for effective end-to-end deep learning with relational data and knowledge, introduces several enhancements and optimizations to the framework, and demonstrates its expressiveness with various novel deep relational learning concepts, including efficient generalizations of popular contemporary models, such as Graph Neural Networks. Demonstrating the framework across various learning scenarios and benchmarks, including computational efficiency, the book will be of interest to all those interested in the theory and practice of advancing representations of modern deep learning architectures.
This first textbook on multi-relational data mining and inductive logic programming provides a complete overview of the field. It is self-contained and easily accessible for graduate students and practitioners of data mining and machine learning.
An intelligent agent interacting with the real world will encounter individual people, courses, test results, drugs prescriptions, chairs, boxes, etc., and needs to reason about properties of these individuals and relations among them as well as cope with uncertainty. Uncertainty has been studied in probability theory and graphical models, and relations have been studied in logic, in particular in the predicate calculus and its extensions. This book examines the foundations of combining logic and probability into what are called relational probabilistic models. It introduces representations, inference, and learning techniques for probability, logic, and their combinations. The book focuses on two representations in detail: Markov logic networks, a relational extension of undirected graphical models and weighted first-order predicate calculus formula, and Problog, a probabilistic extension of logic programs that can also be viewed as a Turing-complete relational extension of Bayesian networks.
Graph-structured data is ubiquitous throughout the natural and social sciences, from telecommunication networks to quantum chemistry. Building relational inductive biases into deep learning architectures is crucial for creating systems that can learn, reason, and generalize from this kind of data. Recent years have seen a surge in research on graph representation learning, including techniques for deep graph embeddings, generalizations of convolutional neural networks to graph-structured data, and neural message-passing approaches inspired by belief propagation. These advances in graph representation learning have led to new state-of-the-art results in numerous domains, including chemical synthesis, 3D vision, recommender systems, question answering, and social network analysis. This book provides a synthesis and overview of graph representation learning. It begins with a discussion of the goals of graph representation learning as well as key methodological foundations in graph theory and network analysis. Following this, the book introduces and reviews methods for learning node embeddings, including random-walk-based methods and applications to knowledge graphs. It then provides a technical synthesis and introduction to the highly successful graph neural network (GNN) formalism, which has become a dominant and fast-growing paradigm for deep learning with graph data. The book concludes with a synthesis of recent advancements in deep generative models for graphs—a nascent but quickly growing subset of graph representation learning.
This book provides an introduction to probabilistic inductive logic programming. It places emphasis on the methods based on logic programming principles and covers formalisms and systems, implementations and applications, as well as theory.
In recent decades, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as an effective approach to address complex control tasks. In a Markov Decision Process (MDP), the framework typically used, the environment is assumed to be a fixed entity that cannot be altered externally. There are, however, several real-world scenarios in which the environment can be modified to a limited extent. This book, Exploiting Environment Configurability in Reinforcement Learning, aims to formalize and study diverse aspects of environment configuration. In a traditional MDP, the agent perceives the state of the environment and performs actions. As a consequence, the environment transitions to a new state and generates a reward signal. The goal of the agent consists of learning a policy, i.e., a prescription of actions that maximize the long-term reward. Although environment configuration arises quite often in real applications, the topic is very little explored in the literature. The contributions in the book are theoretical, algorithmic, and experimental and can be broadly subdivided into three parts. The first part introduces the novel formalism of Configurable Markov Decision Processes (Conf-MDPs) to model the configuration opportunities offered by the environment. The second part of the book focuses on the cooperative Conf-MDP setting and investigates the problem of finding an agent policy and an environment configuration that jointly optimize the long-term reward. The third part addresses two specific applications of the Conf-MDP framework: policy space identification and control frequency adaptation. The book will be of interest to all those using RL as part of their work.
