متن کاملHard Constraints Mirror Soft Constraints!
Person-based split-ergativity is one of a number of linguistic phenomena which reflect the general tendency, first noted in Silverstein 1976, for the hierarchy of grammatical functions to be “aligned” with hierarchies of other linguistic substance, such as person. A diachronic, usage based explanation is offered both for the existence of personbased split-ergative systems and for the absence of...
متن کاملHard-constrained vs. soft-constrained parameter estimation
The paper aims at contrasting two different ways of incorporating a-priori information in parameter estimation, i.e. hard-constrained and soft-constrained estimation. Hardconstrained estimation can be interpreted, in the Bayesian framework, as Maximum A-posteriori Probability (MAP) estimation with uniform prior distribution over the constraining set, and amounts to a constrained Least-Squares (...
متن کاملUsing Hard Constraints for Representing Soft Constraints
Most of the current algorithms dedicated to the resolution of over-constrained problems, as PFC-MRDAC, are based on the search for a support for each value of each variable taken independently. The structure of soft constraints is only used to speed-up such a search, but not to globally deduce the existence or the absence of support. These algorithms do not use the ltering algorithms associated...
متن کاملReduced-order constrained optimization in IMRT planning.
This paper presents a new algorithm for constrained intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning, made tractable by a dimensionality reduction using a set of plans obtained by fast, unconstrained optimizations. The main result is to reduce planning time by an order of magnitude, producing viable five field prostate IMRT plans in about 5 min. Broadly, the algorithm has three steps. First, we...
