An Improved Integer Local Search for Complex Scheduling Problems
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...

Reasoning about Knowledge by Variable Forgetting
In this paper, we investigate knowledge reasoning within a simple framework called knowledge structure. We use variable forgetting as a basic operation for one agent to reason abo...

Condensed Representations for Inductive Logic Programming
When mining frequent Datalog queries, many queries will be equivalent in the light of an implicit or explicit background knowledge. To alleviate the problem, we introduce various t...

Inferential Complexity Control for Model-Based Abduction
We describe a technique for speeding up inference for model-based abduction tasks that trades off inference time and/or space for the fraction of queries correctly answered. We co...
