Why Local Search Excels in Expression Simplification
cs.AI
Simplifying expressions is important to make numerical integration of large expressions from High Energy Physics tractable. To this end, Horner's method can be used. Finding suitable Horner schemes is assumed to be hard, due to the lack of local heuristics. Recently, MCTS was reported to be able to find near optimal sc...

The goal of constraint-based sequence mining is to find sequences of symbols that are included in a large number of input sequences and that satisfy some constraints specified by the user. Many constraints have been proposed in the literature, but a general framework is still missing. We investigate the use of constrai...

Predicting Performance During Tutoring with Models of Recent Performance
cs.AI
In educational technology and learning sciences, there are multiple uses for a predictive model of whether a student will perform a task correctly or not. For example, an intelligent tutoring system may use such a model to estimate whether or not a student has mastered a skill. We analyze the significance of data recen...

Holographic Graph Neuron: a Bio-Inspired Architecture for Pattern Processing
cs.AI
This article proposes the use of Vector Symbolic Architectures for implementing Hierarchical Graph Neuron, an architecture for memorizing patterns of generic sensor stimuli. The adoption of a Vector Symbolic representation ensures a one-layered design for the approach, while maintaining the previously reported properti...

Second International Nurse Rostering Competition (INRC-II) --- Problem Description and Rules ---
cs.AI
In this paper, we provide all information to participate to the Second International Nurse Rostering Competition (INRC-II). First, we describe the problem formulation, which, differently from INRC-I, is a multi-stage procedure. Second, we illustrate all the necessary infrastructure do be used together with the particip...

The Information-theoretic and Algorithmic Approach to Human, Animal and Artificial Cognition
cs.AI
We survey concepts at the frontier of research connecting artificial, animal and human cognition to computation and information processing---from the Turing test to Searle's Chinese Room argument, from Integrated Information Theory to computational and algorithmic complexity. We start by arguing that passing the Turing...

Consid{é}rant la d{é}pendance dans la th{é}orie des fonctions de croyance
cs.AI
In this paper, we propose to learn sources independence in order to choose the appropriate type of combination rules when aggregating their beliefs. Some combination rules are used with the assumption of their sources independence whereas others combine beliefs of dependent sources. Therefore, the choice of the combina...

Trolls Identification within an Uncertain Framework
cs.AI
The web plays an important role in people's social lives since the emergence of Web 2.0. It facilitates the interaction between users, gives them the possibility to freely interact, share and collaborate through social networks, online communities forums, blogs, wikis and other online collaborative media. However, an o...

Belief Hidden Markov Model for speech recognition
cs.AI
Speech Recognition searches to predict the spoken words automatically. These systems are known to be very expensive because of using several pre-recorded hours of speech. Hence, building a model that minimizes the cost of the recognizer will be very interesting. In this paper, we present a new approach for recognizing ...

Features modeling with an $α$-stable distribution: Application to pattern recognition based on continuous belief functions
cs.AI
The aim of this paper is to show the interest in fitting features with an $\alpha$-stable distribution to classify imperfect data. The supervised pattern recognition is thus based on the theory of continuous belief functions, which is a way to consider imprecision and uncertainty of data. The distributions of features ...

Second-Order Belief Hidden Markov Models
cs.AI
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are learning methods for pattern recognition. The probabilistic HMMs have been one of the most used techniques based on the Bayesian model. First-order probabilistic HMMs were adapted to the theory of belief functions such that Bayesian probabilities were replaced with mass functions. In thi...

Int{é}gration d'une mesure d'ind{é}pendance pour la fusion d'informations
cs.AI
Many information sources are considered into data fusion in order to improve the decision in terms of uncertainty and imprecision. For each technique used for data fusion, the asumption on independance is usually made. We propose in this article an approach to take into acount an independance measure befor to make the ...

Uncertainty in Ontology Matching: A Decision Rule-Based Approach
cs.AI
Considering the high heterogeneity of the ontologies pub-lished on the web, ontology matching is a crucial issue whose aim is to establish links between an entity of a source ontology and one or several entities from a target ontology. Perfectible similarity measures, consid-ered as sources of information, are combined...

Efficient local search limitation strategy for single machine total weighted tardiness scheduling with sequence-dependent setup times
cs.AI
This paper concerns the single machine total weighted tardiness scheduling with sequence-dependent setup times, usually referred as $1|s_{ij}|\sum w_jT_j$. In this $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem, each job has an associated processing time, due date and a weight. For each pair of jobs $i$ and $j$, there may be a setup time...

Inclusion within Continuous Belief Functions
cs.AI
Defining and modeling the relation of inclusion between continuous belief function may be considered as an important operation in order to study their behaviors. Within this paper we will propose and present two forms of inclusion: The strict and the partial one. In order to develop this relation, we will study the cas...

A Distance-Based Decision in the Credal Level
cs.AI
Belief function theory provides a flexible way to combine information provided by different sources. This combination is usually followed by a decision making which can be handled by a range of decision rules. Some rules help to choose the most likely hypothesis. Others allow that a decision is made on a set of hypothe...
