In many real-life optimisation problems, there are multiple interacting components in a solution. For example, different components might specify assignments to different kinds of...

We introduce First Order ProbLog, an extension of first order logic with soft constraints where formulas are guarded by probabilistic facts. The paper defines a semantics for FOPro...

Many real life optimization problems contain both hard and soft constraints, as well as qualitative conditional preferences. However, there is no single formalism to specify all t...

Many optimization problems can be expressed us ing some form of soft constraints, where different measures of desirability arc associated with differ ent combinations of domai...

We introduce a new type of discourse constraints for the interaction of discourse relations with the configuration of discourse segments. We examine corpus-extracted examples as s...

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. Many "semiring-like" structures are used in Soft Constraint Satisfaction Problems (SCSPs). We review a few properties of semirings that are useful for dealing w...

Real-life problems present several kinds of preferences. We focus on problems with both positive and negative preferences, that we call bipolar preference problems. Although seemin...
