TLDR
Multi-Entity Bayesian Networks is presented, a first-order language for specifying probabilistic knowledge bases as parameterized fragments of Bayesian networks, and a proof is given that MEBN can represent a probability distribution on interpretations of any finitely axiomatizable first- order theory.

Statistical Relational Artificial Intelligence: Logic, Probability, and Computation

TL;DR: This 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 extensions of Bayesian networks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of conditional probability and introduce a set of variables and distributions for estimating the probability of a given set of estimators, including large random samples and special distributions.

A translation approach to portable ontology specifications

TL;DR: This paper describes a mechanism for defining ontologies that are portable over representation systems, basing Ontolingua itself on an ontology of domain-independent, representational idioms.

Probability and Measure

TL;DR: In this paper, the convergence of distributions is considered in the context of conditional probability, i.e., random variables and expected values, and the probability of a given distribution converging to a certain value.
