Constraint satisfaction has been applied with great success in closed-world scenarios, where all options and constraints are known from the beginning and fixed. With the internet,...
This paper describes a text chunking system based on a generalization of the Winnow algorithm. We propose a general statistical model for text chunking which we then convert into ...
The Constraint Problems usually addressed fall into one of two models: the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) and the Constraint Optimization Problem (COP). However, in many rea...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) used in complex optimization domains usually need to perform a large number of fitness function evaluations in order to get near-optimal solutions. In rea...
A fundamental problem when computing statistical shape models is the determination of correspondences between the instances of the associated data set. Often, homologies between po...
