In this paper we present a simple and general new No Free Lunch-like result that applies to revisiting algorithms searching arbitrary problem sets. We begin by unifying the assumpt...
Combining constraints using logical connectives such as disjunction is ubiquitous in constraint programming, because it adds considerable expressive power to a constraint language...

Neural network ensemble is a learning paradigm where many neural networks are jointly used to solve a problem. In this paper, the relationship between the ensemble and its compone...
In the previous two decades, a number of qualitative constraint calculi have been developed, which are used to represent and reason about spatial configurations. A common property...
In recent years, with the rapid proliferation of digital images, the need to search and retrieve the images accurately, efficiently, and conveniently is becoming more acute. Automa...
