Approximate Objects and Approximate Theories
We propose to extend the ontology of logical AI to include approximate objects, approximate predicates and approximate theories. Besides the ontology we treat the relations among ...

Hardness of the Covering Radius Problem on Lattices
We provide the first hardness result for the Covering Radius Problem on lattices (CRP). Namely, we show that for any large enough p there exists a constant cp > 1 such that C...

Approximate Reachability with BDDs Using Overlapping Projections
Approximate reachability techniques trade o accuracy with the capacity to deal with bigger designs. Cho et al 3 proposed approximate FSM traversal algorithms over a partition of t...

On the Correspondence between Approximations and Similarity
Abstract. This paper focuses on the use and interpretation of approximate databases where both rough sets and indiscernibility partitions are generalized and replaced by approximat...

Approximative Query Techniques for Agents with Heterogeneous Ontologies and Perceptive Capabilities
In this paper, we propose a framework that provides software and robotic agents with the ability to ask approximate questions to each other in the context of heterogeneous ontolog...

Query Answering and Containment for Regular Path Queries under Distortions
Abstract. We give a general framework for approximate query processing in semistructured databases. We focus on regular path queries, which are the integral part of most of the que...

Beyond Trees: MRF Inference via Outer-Planar Decomposition
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in Markov Random Fields (MRFs) is an NP-hard problem, and thus research has focussed on either finding efficiently solvable subclasses (e.g. t...
