Mixed-initiative learning integrates complementary human and automated reasoning, taking advantage of their respective reasoning styles and computational strengths in order to sol...
This paper presents an algorithm for the unconstrained two-dimensional cutting problem of rectangular pieces. It proposes the two-stage general block pattern that can be cut into ...
We consider the problem of learning incoherent sparse and lowrank patterns from multiple tasks. Our approach is based on a linear multi-task learning formulation, in which the spa...
The problem of learning the structure of Bayesian networks from complete discrete data with a limit on parent set size is considered. Learning is cast explicitly as an optimisatio...
We develop a solution approach for the fixed charge network flow problem (FCNF) that produces provably high-quality solutions quickly. The solution approach combines mathematica...
