—This paper proposes a method of learning a similarity matrix from pairwise constraints for interactive clustering. The similarity matrix can be learned by solving an optimizatio...
The maintenance of global integrity constraints in database federations is still a challenge since traditional integrity constraint management techniques cannot be applied to such ...
As many real-world problems involve user preferences, costs, or probabilities, constraint satisfaction has been extended to optimization by generalizing hard constraints to soft co...
Ideally designed software allow users to explore and pursue interleaving plans, making it challenging to automatically recognize user interactions. The recognition algorithms prese...
Pattern analysis consists in determining the shape of the set of solutions of the constraint store at some program points. Our basic claim is that pattern analyses can all be desc...
