Abstract. The heavy-tailed phenomenon that characterises the runtime distributions of backtrack search procedures has received considerable attention over the past few years. Some ...
In the age of electronic commerce, with low-cost information access, it has been recognized that a bundle search in a combinatorial trade is very valuable for buyers. Optimal trav...
Constraints have played a central role in cp because they capture key substructures of a problem and efficiently exploit them to boost inference. This paper intends to do the same ...
CSP search algorithms are exponential in the worst-case. A trivial upper bound on the time complexity of CSP search algorithms is O∗ (dn ), where n and d are the number of variab...
We present a novel POMDP planning algorithm called heuristic search value iteration (HSVI). HSVI is an anytime algorithm that returns a policy and a provable bound on its regret w...
