• Abstract: Epistemic logic programs (ELPs) are a popular generalization of standard Answer Set Programming (ASP) providing means for reasoning over answer sets within the language. This richer formalism comes at the price of higher computational complexity reaching up to the fourth level of the polynomial hierarchy. However, in contrast to standard ASP, dedicated investigations towards tractability have not been undertaken yet. In this paper, we give first results in this direction and show that central ELP problems can be solved in linear time for ELPs exhibiting structural properties in terms of bounded treewidth. We also provide a full dynamic programming algorithm that adheres to these bounds. Finally, we show that applying treewidth to a novel dependency structure---given in terms of epistemic literals---allows to bound the number of ASP solver calls in typical ELP solving procedures.

  We focus on satisfiability problems expressed in probabilistic and causal languages. We show that linear languages (allowing addition and marginalization) yield NPPP-, PSPACE-, and NEXP-complete satisfiability problems. We also consider constrained models that are restricted to a given Bayesian network, a Directed Acyclic Graph structure, or a small size.

  We propose REBEL, a minimalist RL algorithm for the era of generative models. In theory, we prove that fundamental RL algorithms like Natural Policy Gradient can be seen as variants of REBEL. We find that REBEL provides a unified approach to language modeling and image generation with stronger or similar performance as PPO and DPO.

  We learn high-quality traces from POMDP executions generated by any solver. We exploit data- and time-efficient Indu Logic Programming (ILP) to generate interpretable belief-based policy specifications. We show that learneds expressed in Answer Set Programming (ASP) yield performance superior to neural networks and similar to optimal handcrafted task-specifics within lower computational time.

  We deal with the classification of structural parameters for disjunctive ASP on the program's rule structure. We provide double-exponential lower bounds for the most prominent parameters in that range. Our results provide an in-depth hardness study, relying on a novel reduction from normal to disjunctive programs.

It turns out that our approach is competitive with existing systems that were introduced recently.
