Probabilistic Circuits Explored as AI Reasoning Machines

This habilitation thesis explores probabilistic circuits (PCs) as a framework for artificial intelligence, focusing on their ability to handle uncertainty and perform complex reasoning tasks efficiently. The research advocates for probability as a fundamental language for AI, drawing parallels with logic, information theory, and human cognition. PCs offer a solution to the computational challenges of probabilistic inference by using structural constraints to enable polynomial-time computation for various queries, integrating with deep learning, and connecting with symbolic machine learning. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust AI systems capable of handling uncertainty and complex reasoning, potentially improving decision-making in AI applications.
