Higher quality synthesized speech is required for widespread use of text-to-speech (TTS) technology, and prosodic pattern is the key feature that makes synthetic speech sound unna...
Building agents for a scenario such as the RoboCup simulation league requires not only methodologies for implementing high-level complex behavior, but also the careful and efficien...
In distributed constraint optimization problems, dynamic programming methods have been recently proposed (e.g. DPOP). In dynamic programming many valuations are grouped together i...
In this paper, we propose an extended local search framework to solve combinatorial optimization problems with data uncertainty. Our approach represents a major departure from sce...
Although normative systems, or social laws, have proved to be a highly influential approach to coordination in multi-agent systems, the issue of compliance to such normative syste...
