Popis: The development of different probabilistic models of uncertainty has been inspired by the rapid progress in various fields, e.g. in AI, probabilistic programming, etc. Lambda calculus is a universal model of computation suitable to express programming languages concepts. Hence, different methods for probabilistic reasoning in lambda calculus have been investigated. In this paper, we develop a formal model for probabilistic reasoning about lambda terms with intersection types, which is a combination of lambda calculus and probabilistic logic. The language of lambda calculus with intersection types is endowed with a probabilistic operator. We propose a semantics based on the possible world approach. An infinitary axiomatization is given for this system and it is proved to be sound with respect to the proposed semantics.
