A new algorithm for real root isolation of univariate polynomials is proposed, which is mainly based on exact interval arithmetic and bisection method. Although exact interval arit...
The paper presents a new sampling methodology for Bayesian networks that samples only a subset of variables and applies exact inference to the rest. Cutset sampling is a network s...
In this paper, we introduce a method for approximating the solution to inference and optimization tasks in uncertain and deterministic reasoning. Such tasks are in general intract...
This paper addresses the need for nonlinear programming algorithms that provide fast local convergence guarantees no matter if a problem is feasible or infeasible. We present an a...
We present1 an evolutionary approach for the computation of exact answers to Natural Languages (NL) questions. Answers are extracted directly from the N
