A new, general approach is described for approximate inference in first-order probabilistic languages, using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in the space of concrete po...
Abstract. OntoTrack is a new browsing and editing “in-one-view” ontology authoring tool. It combines a sophisticated graphical layout with mouse enabled editing features optimi...
This paper presents the Incremental Breakout Algorithm with Variable Ordering (IncBA). This algorithm belongs to the class of local search algorithms for solving Constraint Satisf...
We develop a family of upper and lower bounds on the worst-case expected KL loss for estimating a discrete distribution on a finite number m of points, given N i.i.d. samples. Our...
Abstract. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are a class of search algorithms based on principles of natural evolution. Hence, incorporating mechanisms used in nature may improve the perform...
