question: predicating on probability values

[alebarna]

Dear, I’m new to ProbLog and I’m currently “playing” with Bayesian Networks enconding.
My question is as follows: once I get the probabilities computed for a certain atom (e.g. query(earthquake) results in a value of 0.98), is there a way to add clauses in the program that make use of them, e.g., if the probability of earthquake is greater than a certain value then this and that are true? This last form of reasoning would be purely classical, no need of probabilities and probabilistic engine, just pure Prolog would be enough. The issue I have is that I do not know how to re-call these probability values to write rules that have them as arguments, nor whether this is really possible. Thanks in advance! .aLessandro

This would classify as a sub-query, where you use the probability of an atom inside of the program itself. See this example for more info: https://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/problog/tutorial/various/05_numberguessing.html

thank you very much for your quick suggestion! I’ll work on that!
