We present tight surrogate regret bounds for the class of proper (i.e., Fisher consistent) losses. The bounds generalise the margin-based bounds due to Bartlett et al. (2006). The...
In this paper we propose an automatic mechanism for annotating XML documents. This mechanism relies on a simple data model whose main features are: (1) a modeling of XML documents ...
At every stage in physical design, engineers are faced with many different objectives and tools to develop, optimize, and evaluate their design. Each choice of a tool or an objec...
The constraint paradigm provides powerful concepts to represent and solve different kinds of planning problems, e. g. factory scheduling. Factory scheduling is a demanding optimiz...
In reactive systems, execution is driven by external events to which the system should respond with appropriate actions. Such events can be simple, but systems are often supposed ...
