Compilability is a fundamental property of knowledge representation formalisms which captures how succinctly information can be expressed. Although many results concerning compila...
We revisit the problem of revising probabilistic beliefs using uncertain evidence, and report results on four major issues relating to this problem: How to specify uncertain evide...
Minesweeper is a one-person game which looks deceptively easy to play, but where average human performance is far from optimal. Playing the game requires logical, arithmetic and p...
With the growing use of distributed information networks, there is an increasing need for algorithmic and system solutions for data-driven knowledge acquisition using distributed,...

After many successes, statistical approaches that have been popular in the parsing community are now making headway into Natural Language Generation (NLG). These systems are aimed...
In this paper we address the problem of query answering and rewriting in global-as-view data integration systems, when key and inclusion dependencies are expressed on the global i...
Many of standard practical techniques of solving constraint satisfaction problems use various decomposition methods to represent a problem as a combination of smaller ones. We stu...
We address the task of problem determination in a distributed system using probes, or test transactions, which gather information about system components. Effective probing requir...

We investigate the combination of answer set programming and qualitative optimization techniques. Answer set optimization programs (ASO programs) have two parts. The generating pr...
