A new spectral approach to value function approximation has recently been proposed to automatically construct basis functions from samples. Global basis functions called proto-val...
Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managi...
Models of real world systems are being increasingly generated from data that describes the behaviour of systems. Data mining techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN),...
Staffing and scheduling optimization in large multiskill call centers is time-consuming, mainly because it requires lengthy simulations to evaluate performance measures and their ...
Image similarity search is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Efficient similarity search across large image databases depends critically on the availability of compact ima...
