A Graph Based Backtracking Algorithm for Solving General CSPs
Many AI tasks can be formalized as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), which involve finding values for variables subject to constraints. While solving a CSP is an NP-complet...

Approximating fractional hypertree width
Fractional hypertree width is a hypergraph measure similar to tree width and hypertree width. Its algorithmic importance comes from the fact that, as shown in previous work [14], ...

Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...

The Use of Classifiers in Sequential Inference
We study the problem of combining the outcomes of several different classifiers in a way that provides a coherent inference that satisfies some constraints. In particular, we deve...

A Comparison of Evolutionary Methods for the Discovery of Local Search Heuristics
Abstract. Methods of adaptive constraint satisfaction have recently become of interest to overcome the limitations imposed on “black-box” search algorithms by the no free lunch...
