Systematic Approach to the Design of Representation-Changing Algorithms

The performance of all problem-solving systems depends crucially on problem representation. The same problem may be easy or difficult to solve depending on the way we describe it. Researchers have designed a variety of learning algorithms that deduce important information from the description of the problem domain and use the deduced information to improve the representation. Examples of these ...

Hypoxic pulmonary hypertension: the paradigm is changing

Sustained hypoxia caused by migration of native sea-level dwellers to high altitude or by chronic lung disease leads to the development of increased pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary hypertension, a response to hypoxia that is unique to the pulmonary circulation. In susceptible individuals at high altitude (subacute and chronic mountain sickness) and in lung disease, the resultant pul...
