We discuss the dynamic programming approach to finding an optimal sequence of a set of tasks when the tasks are related by precedence restrictions. We describe how to use this approach in problems ...

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a formal foundation for making probabilistic models of linear sequence 'labeling' problems 1,2. They provide a conceptual toolkit for building complex models just by ...

A drop box loom has a vertical rack of four boxes on each side of the loom to hold the shuttles. When a weft pick is inserted there is a choice of empty boxes to receive the shuttle. Choosing the ...
