Statistical relational learning (SRL) is a subdiscipline of artificial intelligence and machine learning that is concerned with domain models that exhibit both uncertainty (which can be dealt with using statistical methods) and complex, relational structure.
Note that SRL is sometimes called Relational Machine Learning (RML) in the literature. Typically, the knowledge representation formalisms developed in SRL use (a subset of) first-order logic to describe relational properties of a domain in a general manner (universal quantification) and draw upon probabilistic graphical models (such as Bayesian networks or Markov networks) to model the uncertainty; some also build upon the methods of inductive logic programming. Significant contributions to the field have been made since the late 1990s.
As is evident from the characterization above, the field is not strictly limited to learning aspects; it is equally concerned with reasoning (specifically probabilistic inference) and knowledge representation. Therefore, alternative terms that reflect the main foci of the field include statistical relational learning and reasoning (emphasizing the importance of reasoning) and first-order probabilistic languages (emphasizing the key properties of the languages with which models are represented).
A number of canonical tasks are associated with statistical relational learning, the most common ones being.
collective classification, i.e. the (simultaneous) prediction of the class of several objects given objects' attributes and their relations
link prediction, i.e. predicting whether or not two or more objects are related
link-based clustering, i.e. the grouping of similar objects, where similarity is determined according to the links of an object, and the related task of collaborative filtering, i.e. the filtering for information that is relevant to an entity (where a piece of information is considered relevant to an entity if it is known to be relevant to a similar entity).
social network modelling
object identification/entity resolution/record linkage, i.

Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL) is a statistical relational learning (SRL) framework for modeling probabilistic and relational domains. It is applicable to a variety of machine learning problems, such as collective classification, entity resolution, link prediction, and ontology alignment. PSL combines two tools: first-order logic, with its ability to succinctly represent complex phenomena, and probabilistic graphical models, which capture the uncertainty and incompleteness inherent in real-world knowledge.
La programmation logique inductive (ILP de l'anglais Inductive Logic Programming) est un sous-domaine de l'apprentissage automatique basée sur la programmation logique. À partir d'un ensemble de connaissances préalables et de résultats attendus, divisés en exemples positifs et négatifs, un système ILP déduit un programme logique hypothétique qui confirme les exemples positifs et infirme les exemples négatifs. On peut résumer le principe de fonctionnement d'un système ILP par le schéma suivant : exemples positifs + exemples négatifs + connaissances préalables ⇒ programme hypothétique.
In artificial intelligence, symbolic artificial intelligence is the term for the collection of all methods in artificial intelligence research that are based on high-level symbolic (human-readable) representations of problems, logic and search. Symbolic AI used tools such as logic programming, production rules, semantic nets and frames, and it developed applications such as knowledge-based systems (in particular, expert systems), symbolic mathematics, automated theorem provers, ontologies, the semantic web, and automated planning and scheduling systems.
This course provides an overview of key advances in continuous optimization and statistical analysis for machine learning. We review recent learning formulations and models as well as their guarantees
When learning skills from demonstrations, one is often required to think in advance about the appropriate task representation (usually in either operational or configuration spaces). We here propose a probabilistic approach for simultaneously learning and ...

Application of instream habitat models such as the Mesohabitat Simulation Model (MesoHABSIM) is becoming increasingly popular. Such models can predict alteration to a river physical habitat caused by hydropower operation or river training. They are a tool ...
We characterize the complete monotonicity of the Kilbas-Saigo function on the negative half-line. We also provide the exact asymptotics at -infinity, and uniform hyperbolic bounds are derived. The same questions are addressed for the classical Le Roy funct ...
