Probabilistic Team Semantics

Arnaud Durand, Miika Hannula, Juha Kontinen, Arne Meier, Jonni Virtema

Abstract: Team semantics is a semantical framework for the study of dependence and independence concepts ubiquitous in many areas such as databases and statistics. In recent works team semantics has been generalised to accommodate also multisets and probabilistic dependencies. In this article we study a variant of probabilistic team semantics and relate this framework to a Tarskian two-sorted logic. We also show that very simple quantifier-free formulae of our logic give rise to $$\mathrm {NP} $$ -hard model checking problems.
