  • KurzfassungAbstract
    We study the query evaluation problem in probabilistic databases in the presence of probabilistic existential rules. Our focus is on Datalog+/- family of languages for which we define the probabilistic counterpart using a flexible and compact encoding of probabilities. This formalism can be viewed as a generalization of probabilistic databases as it allows to generate new facts from the given ones using the so-called tuple generating dependencies, or existential rules. We study the computational cost of this additional expressiveness under two different semantics. First, we use a conventional approach and assume that the probabilistic knowledge base is consistent and employ the standard possible world semantics. Afterwards, we introduce a probabilistic inconsistency-tolerant semantics, which we refer as inconsistency-tolerant possible world semantics. For both of these cases, we provide a through complexity analysis relative to different languages; drawing a complete picture of the complexity of probabilistic query answering in this family.
