In the previous two decades, a number of qualitative constraint calculi have been developed, which are used to represent and reason about spatial configurations. A common property...
Attempts to use finite models to guide the search for proofs by resolution and the like in first order logic all suffer from the need to trade off the expense of generating and m...
Autonomous systems operating in real-world environments must plan, schedule, and execute missions while robustly adapting to uncertainty and disturbance. One way to mitigate the e...
Sentence compression holds promise for many applications ranging from summarization to subtitle generation. Our work views sentence compression as an optimization problem and uses...
Backbone variables have the same assignment in all solutions to a given constraint satisfaction problem; more generally, bias represents the proportion of solutions that assign a v...
