Abstract: We elaborate the complexity of the Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problem, QCSP(A), where A is a finite idempotent algebra. Such a problem is either in NP or is co-NP-hard, and the borderline is given precisely according to whether A enjoys the polynomially-generated powers (PGP) property. This reduces the complexity classification problem for QCSPs to that … Barnaby Martin (Durham): The Complexity of Quantified Constraints (School Seminar)

Abstract: Natural language processing (NLP) is a multidisciplinary field closely related to linguistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
