This paper discusses a subclass of fraud detection systems known as break detection systems. A number of AI techniques have proven effective in fraud detection; however break detection systems address more complex problems than have typically been reported. Problems addressed by break detection systems are characterized not only by dynamic data with complicated temporal and other relationships,...

The study of genome rearrangement has many flavours, but they all are somehow tied to edit distances on variations of a multi-graph called the breakpoint graph. We study a weighted 2-break distance on Eulerian 2-edge-colored multi-graphs, which generalizes weighted versions of several Double Cut and Join problems, including those on genomes with unequal gene content. We affirm the connection be...

We propose to solve the break minimization problem in sports scheduling by transforming it into a maximum cut problem in an undirected graph and applying a branch-and-cut algorithm. Our approach outperforms previous approaches with constraint programming and integer programming techniques.

Outside the cognitive psychologist’s laboratory, problem solving is an activity that takes place in a rich web of interactions involving people and artifacts. Through this interactivity, a reasoner’s comprehension of the problem emerges from a coalition of internal and external resources. In the experiment presented here, interactivity was explored under laboratory conditions. Participants were...

We investigate whether dual triangular √ 3 subdivision can be made practical. We conclude that it has serious drawbacks. Our analysis provides insights into the sorts of problem which occur with subdivision schemes which break symmetry.

I describe how SBDS can be utilised to break the symmetry in the Peaceably Coexisting Armies of Queens problem. Including how SBDS can be combined with other CSP techniques to produce improved performance.

In this letter we emphasize the effect that the inclusion of electromagnetic properties for a string brings logarithmic divergences to the accretion problem and the mechanism of formation and evolution of wakes can break down.
