Foundations of MT-PDCL: Measure-Theoretic Probabilistic Definite Clause Logic

Aug 13, 2026

Traditional probabilistic logic programming is constrained by discrete propositionalization, hindering precise reasoning over continuous domains. This work proposes the MT-PDCL framework, which introduces measure theory into probabilistic logic programming for the first time. By leveraging standard Borel σ-algebras and Lebesgue integration, MT-PDCL defines logical variables directly over continuous measurable spaces and establishes a semantics based on continuous probability distributions along with a continuous immediate consequence operator. The approach preserves a purely declarative syntax while enabling exact, algebraic, and structurally differentiable probabilistic inference over continuous domains. Centered on continuous integration rather than discrete combinatorial enumeration, the framework effectively circumvents the limitations of finite domains and supports efficient, exact inference with continuous priors and observations.

The DIME Architecture: A Unified Operational Algorithm for Neural Representation, Dynamics, Control and Integration

Mar 07, 2026

Current neuroscience lacks a unified computational architecture that integrates core cognitive functions such as perception, memory, prediction, value assessment, and consciousness. This work proposes DIME (Detect-Integrate-Mark-Execute), an operational neural architecture grounded in a four-stage cyclic mechanism that unifies neural representation, dynamic evolution, control, and multiscale integration through the interplay of memory traces, execution trajectories, a marking system, and hyper-memory traces. For the first time, DIME incorporates perception, memory, valuation, and conscious access within a single computational framework, leveraging abstract modeling, recursive processing, neuromodulation, and large-scale network integration. The architecture aligns with empirical findings including hippocampal indexing, cortical replay, and the global workspace theory, while offering a novel, interpretable, and scalable template for next-generation cognitive architectures in artificial intelligence and robotics.

LoopDB: A Loop Closure Dataset for Large Scale Simultaneous Localization and Mapping

Jun 07, 2025

Existing loop closure detection benchmarks suffer from limited scene diversity, insufficient scale, and sparse ground-truth pose annotations, hindering comprehensive evaluation of SLAM algorithms. To address this, we introduce LoopDB—the first open-source, multi-scene, high-resolution image-sequence benchmark specifically designed for SLAM loop closure detection. LoopDB encompasses six distinct environments (e.g., park, indoor, parking lot, and object close-ups), comprising over 1,000 images organized into 5-frame continuous sequences, with dense, frame-wise relative pose ground truth derived from high-precision camera capture and geometric calibration. The dataset is compatible with mainstream deep learning architectures, including CNNs and Vision Transformers. LoopDB significantly enhances the evaluability of generalization and robustness of loop closure methods under complex, realistic conditions. It is publicly released and has already been adopted by multiple SLAM research groups.
