Proof System for Plan Verification under 0-Approximation Semantics
cs.AI
In this paper a proof system is developed for plan verification problems $\{X\}c\{Y\}$ and $\{X\}c\{KW p\}$ under 0-approximation semantics for ${\mathcal A}_K$. Here, for a plan $c$, two sets $X,Y$ of fluent literals, and a literal $p$, $\{X\}c\{Y\}$ (resp. $\{X\}c\{KW p\}$) means that all literals of $Y$ become true ...

Game tree search algorithms such as minimax have been used with enormous success in turn-based adversarial games such as Chess or Checkers. However, such algorithms cannot be directly applied to real-time strategy (RTS) games because a number of reasons. For example, minimax assumes a turn-taking game mechanics, not pr...

Analysis of Statistical Hypothesis based Learning Mechanism for Faster Crawling
cs.IR
The growth of world-wide-web (WWW) spreads its wings from an intangible quantities of web-pages to a gigantic hub of web information which gradually increases the complexity of crawling process in a search engine. A search engine handles a lot of queries from various parts of this world, and the answers of it solely de...

The Guppy Effect as Interference
cs.AI
People use conjunctions and disjunctions of concepts in ways that violate the rules of classical logic, such as the law of compositionality. Specifically, they overextend conjunctions of concepts, a phenomenon referred to as the Guppy Effect. We build on previous efforts to develop a quantum model that explains the Gup...

Ordered {AND, OR}-Decomposition and Binary-Decision Diagram
cs.AI
In the context of knowledge compilation (KC), we study the effect of augmenting Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDD) with two kinds of decomposition nodes, i.e., AND-vertices and OR-vertices which denote conjunctive and disjunctive decomposition of propositional knowledge bases, respectively. The resulting knowledge...

A Novel Strategy Selection Method for Multi-Objective Clustering Algorithms Using Game Theory
cs.GT
The most important factors which contribute to the efficiency of game-theoretical algorithms are time and game complexity. In this study, we have offered an elegant method to deal with high complexity of game theoretic multi-objective clustering methods in large-sized data sets. Here, we have developed a method which s...

Content-based Text Categorization using Wikitology
cs.IR
A major computational burden, while performing document clustering, is the calculation of similarity measure between a pair of documents. Similarity measure is a function that assign a real number between 0 and 1 to a pair of documents, depending upon the degree of similarity between them. A value of zero means that th...

Monte Carlo Search Algorithm Discovery for One Player Games
cs.AI
Much current research in AI and games is being devoted to Monte Carlo search (MCS) algorithms. While the quest for a single unified MCS algorithm that would perform well on all problems is of major interest for AI, practitioners often know in advance the problem they want to solve, and spend plenty of time exploiting t...

Document Clustering Evaluation: Divergence from a Random Baseline
cs.IR
Divergence from a random baseline is a technique for the evaluation of document clustering. It ensures cluster quality measures are performing work that prevents ineffective clusterings from giving high scores to clusterings that provide no useful result. These concepts are defined and analysed using intrinsic and extr...

Optimizing Supply Chain Management using Gravitational Search Algorithm and Multi Agent System
cs.MA
Supply chain management is a very dynamic operation research problem where one has to quickly adapt according to the changes perceived in environment in order to maximize the benefit or minimize the loss. Therefore we require a system which changes as per the changing requirements. Multi agent system technology in rece...

Theorem Proving in Large Formal Mathematics as an Emerging AI Field
cs.AI
In the recent years, we have linked a large corpus of formal mathematics with automated theorem proving (ATP) tools, and started to develop combined AI/ATP systems working in this setting. In this paper we first relate this project to the earlier large-scale automated developments done by Quaife with McCune's Otter sys...

Modeling and Verification of a Multi-Agent Argumentation System using NuSMV
cs.AI
Autonomous intelligent agent research is a domain situated at the forefront of artificial intelligence. Interest-based negotiation (IBN) is a form of negotiation in which agents exchange information about their underlying goals, with a view to improve the likelihood and quality of a offer. In this paper we model and ve...

Parametric matroid of rough set
cs.AI
Rough set is mainly concerned with the approximations of objects through an equivalence relation on a universe. Matroid is a combinatorial generalization of linear independence in vector spaces. In this paper, we define a parametric set family, with any subset of a universe as its parameter, to connect rough sets and m...

Mining Social Data to Extract Intellectual Knowledge
cs.AI
Social data mining is an interesting phe-nomenon which colligates different sources of social data to extract information. This information can be used in relationship prediction, decision making, pat-tern recognition, social mapping, responsibility distri-bution and many other applications. This paper presents a syste...

A Cookbook for Temporal Conceptual Data Modelling with Description Logics

We design temporal description logics suitable for reasoning about temporal conceptual data models and investigate their computational complexity. Our formalisms are based on DL-Lite logics with three types of concept inclusions (ranging from atomic concept inclusions and disjointness to the full Booleans), as well as ...

Extension du formalisme des flux opérationnels par une algèbre temporelle

Workflows constitute an important language to represent knowledge about processes, but also increasingly to reason on such knowledge. On the other hand, there is a limit to which time constraints between activities can be expressed. Qualitative interval algebras can model processes using finer temporal relations, but t...
