In this paper, we formalize and prove the statement that coincidences cannot be accidental, a statement that underlies many useful heuristics in mathematics and physics. Our proof...
The paper focuses on evaluating constraint satisfaction search algorithms on application based random problem instances. The application we use is a well-studied problem in the el...
A high quality review of the distance learning literature from 1992–1999 concluded that most of the research on distance learning had serious methodological flaws. This paper pr...
We propose a two-state Markov chain model of degraded document images. The model generates random and burst noise to simulate isolated pixel reversal as well as blurring of a larg...
A large number of database index structures have been proposed over the last two decades, and little consensus has emerged regarding their relative e ectiveness. In order to empir...
