This article surveys three techniques for enhancing heuristic game-tree search pioneered in the author's Othello program Logistello, which dominated the computer Othello scen...
Abstract. Document decomposition is a basic but crucial step for many document related applications. This paper proposes a novel approach to decompose document images into zones. I...
Current efficient planners employ an informed search guided by a heuristic function that is quite expensive to compute. Thus, ordering nodes in the search tree becomes a key issue,...
A novel native stochastic local search algorithm for solving k-term DNF problems is presented. It is evaluated on hard k-term DNF problems that lie on the phase transition and com...
Rule induction from examples is a machine learning technique that finds rules of the form condition → class, where condition and class are logic expressions of the form variable...
