Agenda: StaRAI – Semantics and Symmetries in Exact Lifted Inference

Symmetries in a probabilistic graphical model with a known number of constants allow for lifted inference to perform tractable problem solving given a liftable model and a liftable query. In this tutorial, we show how to retain properties of lifted inference even with an unknown set of constants as well as how to retain a liftable model by approximating symmetries while performing inference.
