- ZeitschriftenartikelOn the Applicability of Probabilistic Programming Languages for Causal Activity Recognition(KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 33, No. 4, 2019) Lüdtke, Stefan; Popko, Maximilian; Kirste, ThomasRecognizing causal activities of human protagonists, and jointly inferring context information like location of objects and agents from noisy sensor data is a challenging task. Causal models can be used, which describe the activity structure symbolically, e.g. by precondition-effect actions. Recently, probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) arose as an abstraction mechanism that allow to concisely define probabilistic models by a general-purpose programming language, and provide off-the-shelf, general-purpose inference algorithms. In this paper, we empirically investigate whether PPLs provide a feasible alternative for implementing causal models for human activity recognition, by comparing the performance of three different PPLs (Anglican, WebPPL and Figaro) on a multi-agent scenario. We find that PPLs allow to concisely express causal models, but general-purpose inference algorithms that are typically implemented in PPLs are outperformed by an application-specific inference algorithm by orders of magnitude. Still, PPLs can be a valuable tool for developing probabilistic models, due to their expressiveness and simple applicability.
