Abstract. In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which users have preferences. We consider the problem of...
The paper describes a fuzzy decisionmalung approach to controlling thermal comfort in the occupied zones of an airconditioned building. The control objective is defined in terms o...
We give an algorithm that learns any monotone Boolean function f : {-1, 1}n {-1, 1} to any constant accuracy, under the uniform distribution, in time polynomial in n and in the de...
