We consider the problem of learning the parameters of a Bayesian network from data, while taking into account prior knowledge about the signs of influences between variables. Such...
The directed anti-Oberwolfach problem asks for a 2-factorization (each factor has in-degree 1 and out-degree 1 for a total degree of two) of K2n+1, not with consistent cycle compo...
We present an approach to knowledge compilation that transforms a function-free first-order Horn knowledge base to propositional logic. This form of compilation is important since...

Satisfiability algorithms for propositional logic have improved enormously in recently years. This improvement increases the attractiveness of satisfiability methods for first-orde...

It has been known how to use computational fixed point theorems to verify existence and uniqueness of a true solution to a nonlinear system of equations within a small region abou...
