Special issue on the 4th Probabilistic Logic Programming workshop
(PLP, http://stoics.org.uk/plp/plp2017).

Deadline: March 7, 2018
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The 4th PLP workshop was held on the 7th of September 2017, in Orlèans, France,

presented at the workshop in Orlèans, as well as new submissions on all topics
of the workshop.

Topics include but are not limited to:
--------------------------------------

   * probabilistic logic programming formalisms
   * parameter estimation
   * statistical inference
   * implementations
   * structure learning
   * reasoning with uncertainty
   * constraint store approaches
   * stochastic and randomised algorithms
   * probabilistic knowledge representation and reasoning
   * constraints in statistical inference
   * applications, such as
   * * bioinformatics
   * * semantic web
   * * robotics
   * probabilistic graphical models
   * answer set programming
   * Bayesian learning
   * tabling for learning and stochastic inference
   * MCMC
   * stochastic search
   * labelled logic programs
   * integration of statistical software
