In sequential decision making under uncertainty, as in many other modeling endeavors, researchers observe a dynamical system and collect data measuring its behavior over time. The...
SAT-based decision procedures for quantifier-free fragments of firstorder logic have proved to be useful in formal verification. These decision procedures are either based on enco...

Default reasoning has become an important topic in software engineering. In particular, defaults can be used to revise speci cations, to enhance reusability of existing systems, an...
In many learning problems prior knowledge about pattern variations can be formalized and beneficially incorporated into the analysis system. The corresponding notion of invarianc...
