This paper presents two new approaches to decomposing and solving large Markov decision problems (MDPs), a partial decoupling method and a complete decoupling method. In these app...
In an XML document a considerable fraction consists of markup, that is, begin and end-element tags describing the document’s tree structure. XML compression tools such as XMill ...
XML and semi-structured data is usually modeled using graph structures. Structural summaries, which have been proposed to speedup XML query processing have graph forms as well. Th...
In this paper, we provide a principled and unified explanation how knowledge in global 3-D structural invariants, typically captured by a group action on a symmetric structure, ca...
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...
