This paper presents a preprocessing step in mining association rules which uses tables to summarize synthetically the way variables interact by highlighting any zones which are at...
Symmetry in constraint problems can be exploited to greatly improve search performance. A form of symmetry that has been the subject of considerable research is value interchangeab...
During knowledge acquisition multiple alternative potential rules all appear equally credible. This paper addresses the dearth of formal analysis about how to select between such a...
This paper presents a new optimization metaheuristic called ID Walk (Intensification/Diversification Walk) that offers advantages for combining simplicity with effectiveness. In ad...
