A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
This paper addresses the problem of extending an adaptive information filtering system to make decisions about the novelty and redundancy of relevant documents. It argues that rel...
Abstract. The relationship between automata and logics has been investigated since the 1960s. In particular, it was shown how to determine, given an automaton, whether or not it is...
Abstract. Multidimensional databases are large collections of data, often historical, used for sophisticated analysis oriented to decision making. This activity is supported by an ...
—What is reachability in higher-order functional programs? We formulate reachability as a decision problem in the setting of the prototypical functional language PCF, and show th...
