Executable specifications for data-type constructors
Lorsqu'on observe des orbites de certains automates cellulaires, on peut penser qu'elles apparaissent comme des mélanges d'orbites d'autres automates (composants). Dans cet article, nous tentons de comprendre ce phénomène en construisant un hybride de deux automates au moyen d'un troisième. Deux types d'automates cellulaires sont introduits : les captifs et les foulards. Nous comparons des propriétés de ces hybrides dans le cadre des classifications algébriques introduites par [B. Martin...
We consider a recently defined notion of k-abelian equivalence of words by concentrating on avoidance problems. The equivalence class of a word depends on the numbers of occurrences of different factors of length k for a fixed natural number k and the prefix of the word. We have shown earlier that over a ternary alphabet k-abelian squares cannot be avoided in pure morphic words for any natural number k. Nevertheless, computational experiments support the conjecture that even 3-abelian squares can...
A computation rule determines the order of selecting premises during an inference process. In this paper we empirically analyse three particular computation rules in a tableau-based, parallel reasoning system for the ALC description logic, which is built in the relational programming model in the Oz language. The system is constructed in the lean deduction style, namely, it has the form of a small program containing only basic mechanisms, which assure soundness and completeness of reasoning. In...
This paper addresses the task of learning classifiers from streams of labelled data. In this case we can face the problem that the underlying concepts can change over time. The paper studies two mechanisms developed for dealing with changing concepts. Both are based on the time window idea. The first one forgets gradually, by assigning to the examples weight that gradually decreases over time. The second one uses a statistical test to detect changes in concept and then optimizes the size of the...
A number of extensions of Ant System, the first ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm, were proposed in the literature. These extensions typically achieve much improved computational results when compared to the original Ant System. However, many design choices of Ant System are left untouched including the fact that solutions are constructed, that real-numbers are used to simulate pheromone trails, and that explicit pheromone evaporation is used. In this article we experimentally investigate...
In the last decade the dramatic onset of multicore and multi-processor systems in combination with the possibilities which now provide modern computer networks have risen. The complexity and size of the investigated models are constantly increasing due to the high computational complexity of computational tasks in dynamics and statics of structures, mainly because of the nonlinear character of the solved models. Any possibility to speed up such calculation procedures is more than desirable. This...
We propose a new additive decomposition of probability tables – tensor rank-one decomposition. The basic idea is to decompose a probability table into a series of tables, such that the table that is the sum of the series is equal to the original table. Each table in the series has the same domain as the original table but can be expressed as a product of one- dimensional tables. Entries in tables are allowed to be any real number, i. e. they can be also negative numbers. The possibility of having...
In this paper we analyze the computational complexity of a processor optimization problem. Given operations with interval times in a branching flow graph, the problem is to find an assignment of the operations to a minimum number of processors. We analyze the complexity of this assignment problem for flow graphs with a constant number of program traces and a constant number of processors.
Tree decomposition introduced by Robertson and Seymour aims to decompose a problem into clusters constituting an acyclic graph. There are works exploiting tree decomposition for complete search methods. In this paper, we show how tree decomposition can be used to efficiently guide local search methods that use large neighborhoods like VNS. We propose DGVNS (Decomposition Guided VNS) which uses the graph of clusters in order to build neighborhood structures enabling better diversification and intensification....
Post-training rounding, also known as quantization, of estimated parameters stands as a widely adopted technique for mitigating energy consumption and latency in machine learning models. This theoretical endeavor delves into the examination of the impact of rounding estimated parameters in key regression methods within the realms of statistics and machine learning. The proposed approach allows for the perturbation of parameters through an additive error with values within a specified interval. This...
