A key assumption of all problem-solving approaches based on utility theory, including heuristic search, is that we can assign a utility or cost to each state. This in turn require...
Wepropose a method called Selection by Performance Prediction (SPP) which allows one, when faced with a particular problem instance, to select a Branch and Boundalgorithm from amo...
Despite much research that has been done on constraint satisfaction problems (CSP's), the framework is sometimes inflexible and the results are not very satisfactory when app...
Effective information gathering on the WWW is a complex task requiring planning, scheduling, text processing, and interpretation-style reasoning about extracted data to resolve in...

The utility problem occurs when the cost of the acquired knowledge outweighs its bene ts. When the learner acquires control knowledge for speeding up a problem solver, the bene t ...
This paper introduces a newwayof accelerating the convergenceof numericCSPfiltering algorithms, through the use of extrapolation methotis. Extrapolation methodsare used in numeric...
We investigate two forms of dependence between variables and/or formulas within a propositional knowledge base: controllability (a set of variables X controls a formula , if there...
