A pattern database (PDB) is a heuristic function in a form of a lookup table which stores the cost of optimal solutions for instances of subproblems. bproblems are generated by abs...
The random number generator is one of the important components of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Therefore, when we try to solve function optimization problems using EAs, we must ...
Abstract. Detecting contour closure, i.e., finding a cycle of disconnected contour fragments that separates an object from its background, is an important problem in perceptual gro...
We examine the issues that arise in extending an estimatedregression (ER) planner to reason about autonomous processes that run and have continuous and discrete effects without th...
The intelligent reformulation or restructuring of a belief network can greatly increase the efficiency of inference. However, time expended for reformulation is not available for ...
