An efficient “Simulation Optimization” technique is developed to solve system design problems which can not be expressed in explicit analytical or mathematical models. In part...
Little notice has been taken of punctuation in the field of natural language processing, chiefly due to the lack of any coherent theory on which to base implementations. Some work...
This paper presents a framework for generating smoothlooking transformations between pairs of surfaces that may differ in topology. The user controls the transformation by specify...
We present a general framework for defining nonmonotonic systems based on the notion of preferred maximal consistent subsets of the premises. This framework subsumes David Poole...
