Improving coding and spatial pooling for bag-of-words based feature design have gained a lot of attention in recent works addressing object recognition and scene classification. ...
In this paper we address the problem of merging qualitative constraints networks (QCNs). We propose a rational merging procedure for QCNs. It is based on translations of QCNs into ...
—To enable effective human-agent collaboration, new human-centric computing paradigms are needed. This paper presents a soft constraint representation scheme based on generalized...
This paper discusses the formalization of relative clauses in Japanese based on JPSG framework. We characterize them as adjuncts to nouns, and formalize them in terms of constrain...
The state-of-the-art global constraint for bin packing is due to Shaw. We compare two linear continuous relaxations of the bin packing problem, based on the DP-flow and Arc-flow ...
