We discuss four variants of the graph colouring problem, and present algorithms for solving them. The problems are k-Colourability, Max Ind k-COL, Max Val k-COL, and, finally, Max...
An autonomous variational inference algorithm for arbitrary graphical models requires the ability to optimize variational approximations over the space of model parameters as well...
—We introduce a new tool for approximation and testing algorithms called partitioning oracles. We develop methods for constructing them for any class of bounded-degree graphs wit...

This paper introduces a multiagent optimization algorithm inspired by the collective behavior of social insects. In our method, each agent encodes a possible solution of the probl...
Abstract. Variables and constraints in problem domains are often distributed. These distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DCSPs) lend themselves to multiagent solutions. Mo...
