Evolutionary algorithms have employed the SAW (Stepwise Adaptation of Weights) method in order to solve CSPs (Constraint Satisfaction Problems). This method originated in hill-clim...
Using information from failures to guide subsequent search is an important technique for solving combinatorial problems in domains such as boolean satisfiability (SAT) and constr...
One approach to optimal planning is to first start with a sub- optimal solution as a seed plan, and then iteratively search for shorter plans. This approach inevitably leads to an...
Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problems (QCSPs) are CSPs in which some variables are universally quantified. For each possible value of such variables, we have to find ways to ...

Abstract. Esfinge is a general domain Portuguese question answering system. It tries to apply simple techniques to large amounts of text. Esfinge participated last year in the mono...
