As many real-world problems involve user preferences, costs, or probabilities, constraint satisfaction has been extended to optimization by generalizing hard constraints to soft co...
Abstract. The genomic median problem is an optimization problem inspired by a biological issue: it aims at finding the chromosome organization of the common ancestor to multiple li...
AI has many techniques and tools at its disposal, yet seems to be lacking some special "juice" needed to create a true being. We propose that the missing ingredients are ...
In the first part of this paper, we present a framework for enriching arbitrary upper or domain-specific ontologies with a concept of time. To do so, we need the notion of a time ...
