Abstract. Combinatorial search methods often exhibit a large variability in performance. We study the cost pro les of combinatorial search procedures. Our study reveals some intrig...
Abstract. In this paper a rigorous mathematical framework of deterministic annealing and mean-field approximation is presented for a general class of partitioning, clustering and ...
Abstract. The goal of this paper is to study tractable iteration mechanisms for bags. The presence of duplicates in bags prevents iteration mechanisms developed in the context of s...
Abstract. We study the relationship between argumentation (abduction) and disjunctive logic programming. Based on the paradigm of argumentation, an abductive semantic framework for...
Abstract: Recently there has been an increasing interest in supporting bulk operations on multidimensional index structures. Bulk loading refers to the process of creating an initi...
