Equivalency clauses (Xors or modulo 2 arithmetics) represent a common structure in the SAT-encoding of many hard real-world problems and constitute a major obstacle to DavisPutnam...
Although much has been written about various information integration technologies, little has been said regarding how to combine these technologies together to build an entire &qu...

The task of generating minimal models of a knowledge base is a significant computational problem in artificial intelligence. This task is at the computational heart of diagnosis s...
Self-organizing models develop realistic cortical structures when given approximations of the visual environment as input, and are an effective way to model the development of fac...
