We present a new grammatical formalism called Constraint Dependency Grammar (CDG) in which every grammatical rule is given as a constraint on wordto-word modifications. CDG parsin...
We present new techniques for explicit constraint satisfaction in the incremental placement process. Our algorithm employs a Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) type approach in the analyt...
We show that various duals that occur in optimization and constraint satisfaction can be classified as inference duals, relaxation duals, or both. We discuss linear programming, su...
In constraint satisfaction, decomposition is a common technique to split a problem in a number of parts in such a way that the global solution can be efficiently assembled from th...
The problem of image segmentation using constraint satisfaction neural networks (CSNN) has been considered. Several variations of the CSNN theme have been advanced to improve its ...
