Real-World Reasoning: Toward Scalable, Uncertain Spatiotemporal, Contextual and Causal Inference

The general problem addressed in this book is a large and important one: how to usefully deal with huge storehouses of complex information about real-world situations. Every one of the major modes of interacting with such storehouses – querying, data mining, data analysis – is addressed by current t...
