We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...

Abstract The paper provides a condition for differentiability as well as an equivalent criterion for Lipschitz continuity of singular normal distributions. Such distributions are o...
We explore the problem of reconstructing an image from a bag of square, non-overlapping image patches, the jigsaw puzzle problem. Completing jigsaw puzzles is challenging and requ...
Most model-based diagnosis systems, such as GDE and Sherlock, have concerned discrete, static systems such as logic circuits and use simple constraint propagation to detect incons...
The problem of extracting continuous structures from noisy or cluttered images is a difficult one. Successful extraction depends critically on the ability to balance prior constra...
