On the Scope of the Universal-Algebraic Approach to Constraint Satisfaction
The universal-algebraic approach has proved a powerful tool in the study of the computational complexity of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). This approach has previously b...

Exploiting Paraphrases and Deferred Sense Commitment to Interpret Questions more Reliably
Creating correct, semantic representations of questions is essential for applications that can use formal reasoning to answer them. However, even within a restricted domain, it is...

Backdoors to Tractable Answer-Set Programming
We present a unifying approach to the efficient evaluation of propositional answer-set programs. Our approach is based on backdoors which are small sets of atoms that represent ...

Lattices that admit logarithmic worst-case to average-case connection factors
We demonstrate an average-case problem that is as hard as finding (n)-approximate shortest vectors in certain n-dimensional lattices in the worst case, where (n) = O( log n). The...

Supporting Time-Constrained SQL Queries in Oracle
The growing nature of databases, and the flexibility inherent in the SQL query language that allows arbitrarily complex formulations, can result in queries that take inordinate am...
