Abstract

The pyramidal architecture supports several powerful paradigms for “machine algorithms,” including pyramid building, tree search, and horizontal and verti- cal propagation. Such paradigms are supported by a set of basic algorithms, for which many types of pyramid or pyramid-related approaches and data struc- tures have been proposed. This chapter reviews some of these fundamental techniques from a computational theoretical point of view and in the light of their effectiveness in application development.
