Local search is widely applied to satisfiable SAT problems, and on some problem classes outperforms backtrack search. An intriguing challenge posed by Selman, Kautz and McAlleste...
We address the problem of answering conjunctive queries over knowledge bases, specified by sets of first-order sentences called tuple-generating dependencies (TGDs). This problem i...
Abstract--Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) offers an increasingly fine-grained method for detecting copy number variations in DNA. These copy number variat...

We consider the computational complexity of pure Nash equilibria in graphical games. It is known that the problem is NP-complete in general, but tractable (i.e., in P) for special...
This paper presents a statistical decision procedure for lexical ambiguity resolution. The algorithm exploits both local syntactic patterns and more distant collocational evidence...
