  • Subject: Computer Science - Programming Languages | Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
In this paper we introduce RankPL, a modeling language that can be thought of as a qualitative variant of a probabilistic programming language with a semantics based on Spohn's ranking theory. Broadly speaking, RankPL can be used to represent and reason about processes ... View more
