PLP 2025: The 12th Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming

******************
Rende, Italy, September 12-13, 2025 (exact date TBA)

Co-located with ICLP 2025

******************
 
The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming, and probability.

Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the
need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as
bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. PLP is part of a wider current interest in probabilistic
programming. Due to logic programming's strong theoretical underpinnings, PLP is one of the more disciplined
areas of probabilistic programming. It builds upon and benefits from the large body of existing work in logic programming,
both in semantics and implementation, but also presents new challenges to the field. While PLP has already contributed
many formalisms, systems, and well-understood and established results, such as parameter estimation, tabling,
marginal probabilities, and Bayesian learning, many questions remain open in this exciting, expanding field at the
intersection of AI, machine learning, and statistics. As is traditional in this series, the workshop would be designed
to foster exchange between the various communities relevant to probabilistic logic programming, including
probabilistic programming and statistical relational artificial intelligence.

*** Scope ***
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Probabilistic Reasoning
Neuro-symbolic Representation and Reasoning
Probabilistic Logic Programming
Probabilistic Answer Set Programming
Probabilistic Logic systems, frameworks, and tools
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Probabilistic Inference and Learning
Applications of Probabilistic Logics

This list is by no means exhaustive.
