We study the satisfiability problem associated with XPath in the presence of DTDs. This is the problem of determining, given a query p in an XPath fragment and a DTD D, whether or...
Abstract-- This paper introduces a deterministic approximation algorithm with error guarantees for computing the probability of propositional formulas over discrete random variable...
Asymptotically optimal bit allocation among a set of quantizers for a finite collection of sources was determined in 1963 by Huang and Schultheiss. Their solution, however, gives ...
We consider the problem of learning a finite automaton M of n states with input alphabet X and output alphabet Y when a teacher has helpfully or randomly labeled the states of M u...
