Constraint-Based Approaches to the Covering Test Problem
Covering arrays have been studied for their applications to drug screening and software and hardware testing. In this paper, we model the problem as a constraint program. Our propo...

Memetic Networks: Analyzing the Effects of Network Properties in Multi-Agent Performance
We explore the relationship between properties of the network defined by connected agents and the global system performance. This is achieved by means of a novel class of optimiza...

Annealing Techniques For Unsupervised Statistical Language Learning
Exploiting unannotated natural language data is hard largely because unsupervised parameter estimation is hard. We describe deterministic annealing (Rose et al., 1990) as an appea...

Backtracking Through Biconnected Components of a Constraint Graph
The algorithm presented here, BCC, is an enhancement of the well known Backtrack used to solve constraint satisfaction problems. Though most backtrack improvements rely on propaga...

Generative Affine Localisation and Tracking
We present an extension to the Jojic and Frey (2001) layered sprite model which allows for layers to undergo affine transformations. This extension allows for affine object pose t...
