A Domain Consistency Algorithm for the Stretch Constraint
The stretch constraint occurs in many rostering problems that arise in the industrial and public service sectors. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for domain consist...

Guided Incremental Construction of Belief Networks
Because uncertain reasoning is often intractable, it is hard to reason with a large amount of knowledge. One solution to this problem is to specify a set of possible models, some s...

Lagrangian Relaxation for MAP Estimation in Graphical Models
Abstract— We develop a general framework for MAP estimation in discrete and Gaussian graphical models using Lagrangian relaxation techniques. The key idea is to reformulate an in...
