Abstract. In this paper, we present a constraint-partitioning approach for finding local optimal solutions of large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems (MINLPs). Ba...
Some telecommunication systems can not afford the cost of repeating a corrupted message. Instead, the message should be somewhat “corrected” by the receiver. In these cases a...
Structural constraint solving allows finding object graphs that satisfy given constraints, thereby enabling software reliability tasks, such as systematic testing and error recove...
We are developing a new problem-solving methodology based on a self-organization paradigm. To realize our future goal of self-organizing computational systems, we have to study co...
We propose to model relative attributes1 that capture the relationships between images and objects in terms of human-nameable visual properties. For example, the models can captur...
