Finding a constraint network that will be efficiently solved by a constraint solver requires a strong expertise in Constraint Programming. Hence, there is an increasing interest i...
We study the computational complexity of reasoning with global constraints. We show that reasoning with such constraints is intractable in general. We then demonstrate how the sam...
Determining whether two terms in text have an ancestor relation (e.g. Toyota and car) or a sibling relation (e.g. Toyota and Honda) is an essential component of textual inference ...
We define tree automata with global constraints (TAGC), generalizing the well-known class of tree automata with global equality and disequality constraints [14] (TAGED). TAGC can...
We introduce tractable classes of VCSP instances based on convex cost functions. Firstly, we show that the class of VCSP instances satisfying the hierarchically nested convexity pr...
