Abstract

The lifted dynamic junction tree algorithm (LDJT) answers filtering and prediction queries efficiently for probabilistic relational temporal models by building and then reusing a first-order cluster representation of a knowledge base for multiple queries and time steps. Unfortunately, a non-ideal elimination order can lead to unnecessary groundings.

This research originated from the Big Data project being part of Joint Lab 1, funded by Cisco Systems Germany, at the centre COPICOH, University of Lübeck.
