We will discuss the shortcomings of known variable and value ordering strategies for Graphplan's backward search phase, and propose a novel strategy that is based on a notion...
We consider the construction of finite automata from their corresponding regular expressions by a series of digraph-transformations along the expression’s structure. Each interm...
It is well known that prior knowledge or bias can speed up learning, at least in theory. It has proved di cult to make constructive use of prior knowledge, so that approximately c...
While approaches based on local features play a more and more important role for 3D shape retrieval, the problems of feature selection and similarity measurement between sets of l...
Abstract. Generic functions are defined by induction on the structural representation of types. As a consequence, by defining just a single generic operation, one acquires this o...
