Many document collections are by nature dynamic, evolving as the topics or events they describe change. The goal of temporal text mining is to discover bursty patterns and to ident...
Conditional random fields (CRF) are widely used for predicting output variables that have some internal structure. Most of the CRF research has been done on structured classificati...
Abstract. We consider the problem of learning a user's ordinal preferences on a multiattribute domain, assuming that her preferences are lexicographic. We introduce a general ...
Ever since the seminal work of Searle, two components of interaction protocols have been identified: constitutive rules, defining the meaning of actions and regulative rules, defin...
We investigate the complexity of axiom pinpointing for different members of the DL-Lite family of Description Logics. More precisely, we consider the problem of enumerating all mi...
Abstract. In this paper we tackle the problem of coordinating multiple decentralised agents with continuous state variables. Specifically we propose a hybrid approach, which combin...

We present two heuristics based on constraint technology that solve the problem of generating air traffic management contingency plans, which are used in the case of a catastrophic...

The automatic tuning of the parameters of algorithms and automatic selection of algorithms has received a lot of attention recently. One possible approach is the use of machine lea...
Abstract. We study the lattice structure of sets (monoids) of surjective hyper-operations on an n-element domain. Through a Galois connection, these monoids form the algebraic coun...
We introduce a parallelized version of tree-decomposition based dynamic programming for solving difficult weighted CSP instances on many cores. A tree decomposition organizes cost ...
