We study the behavior of the classical A∗ search algorithm when coupled with a heuristic that provides estimates, accurate to within a small multiplicative factor, of the distan...
Abstract. A common way of dealing with the paradoxes of preference aggregation consists in restricting the domain of admissible preferences. The most well-known such restriction is...
It is well-known that inference in graphical models is hard in the worst case, but tractable for models with bounded treewidth. We ask whether treewidth is the only structural cri...
We propose to selectively remove examples from the training set using probabilistic estimates related to editing algorithms (Devijver and Kittler, 1982). This heuristic procedure ...
In the paper, the computational complexity of several variants of the problem of isothermic DNA sequencing by hybridization, is analyzed. The isothermic sequencing is a recent met...
