Non-rectangular (rectilinear) shape occurs very often in deep submicron floorplanning. Most previous algorithms are designed to handle only convex rectilinear blocks. However, han...
Clustering under constraints is a recent innovation in the artificial intelligence community that has yielded significant practical benefit. However, recent work has shown that fo...
In this paper we present Discriminative Random Fields (DRF), a discriminative framework for the classification of natural image regions by incorporating neighborhood spatial depe...
A planning problem is k-dependent if each action has at most k pre-conditions on variables unaffected by the action. This concept is well-founded since k is a constant for all but...
How can an intelligent agent update her knowledge base about an action domain, relative to some conditions (possibly obtained from earlier observations)? We study this question in...
