Functionality-based recognition systems recognize objects at the category level by reasoning about how well the objects support the expected function. Such systems naturally assoc...
The Maximum Betweenness Centrality problem (MBC) can be defined as follows. Given a graph find a k-element node set C that maximizes the probability of detecting communication be...
Abstract. Current methods for solving games embody a form of “procedural rationality” that invites logical analysis in its own right. This paper is a brief case study of Backwa...
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
Abstract. Many interesting problems in computer vision can be formulated as a minimization problem for an energy functional. If this functional is given as an integral of a scalar-...
