Abstract. We describe a simple CSP formalism for handling multi-attribute preference problems with hard constraints, one that combines hard constraints and preferences so the two a...

Interactive configuration guides a user searching through a large combinatorial space of solutions to a system of constraints. We investigate a class of very expressive underlying...

In this paper we consider bounded real-valued functions over the discrete cube, f : {-1, 1}n [-1, 1]. Such functions arise naturally in theoretical computer science, combinatorics...

Existing algorithms for mining association patterns often rely on the support-based pruning strategy to prune a combinatorial search space. However, this strategy is not effective ...
IT problem management calls for quick identification of resolvers to reported problems. The efficiency of this process highly depends on ticket routing--transferring problem ticke...
