TY - CONF T1 - Abduction in Annotated Probabilistic Temporal Logic T2 - Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) Y1 - 2011 A1 - Molinaro,Cristian A1 - Sliva,Amy A1 - V.S. Subrahmanian AB - Annotated Probabilistic Temporal (APT) logic programs are a form of logic programs that allow users to state (or systems to automatically learn)rules of the form ``formula G becomes true K time units after formula F became true with L to U% probability.'' In this paper, we develop a theory of abduction for APT logic programs. Specifically, given an APT logic program Pi, a set of formulas H that can be ``added'' to Pi, and a goal G, is there a subset S of H such that Pi \cup S is consistent and entails the goal G? In this paper, we study the complexity of the Basic APT Abduction Problem (BAAP). We then leverage a geometric characterization of BAAP to suggest a set of pruning strategies when solving BAAP and use these intuitions to develop a sound and complete algorithm.
