Robert, my student Liem Ngo has done quite a bit of work on combining logic
programming and Bayesian networks. His approach involves construction of a
Bayesian network as a mechanism to answer queries over probabilistic
Horn-clauses. The language includes contextual indexing and representation
of discrete time. Below are some references to his work.
