We study and compare two combinatorial lowness notions: strong jump-traceability and well-approximability of the jump, by strengthening the notion of jump-traceability and super-l...
Much like relational probabilistic models, the need for relational preference models arises naturally in real-world applications where the set of object classes is fixed, but obj...
