Various enumeration problems for classes of simply generated families of trees have been the object of investigation in the past. We mention the enumeration of independent subsets,...
We provide a polyhedral description of the conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for a hierarchical log-linear model. The MLE exists if and only if...

This paper deals with the problem of inference under uncertain information. This is a generalization of a paper of Cardona et al. (1991a) where rules were not allowed to contain n...
Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problems (TCSP) is a well known approach for representing and processing temporal knowledge. Important properties of the knowledge can be inferred...
First-order probabilistic logic is a powerful knowledge representation language. Unfortunately, deductive reasoning based on the standard semantics for this logic does not support...
