Asynchronous algorithms for approximate distributed constraint optimization with quality bounds
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a popular framework for cooperative multi-agent decision making. DCOP is NPhard, so an important line of work focuses on developing f...

Pathologies of temporal difference methods in approximate dynamic programming
Approximate policy iteration methods based on temporal differences are popular in practice, and have been tested extensively, dating to the early nineties, but the associated conve...

Optimal Column-Based Low-Rank Matrix Reconstruction
We prove that for any real-valued matrix X ∈ Rm×n , and positive integers r k, there is a subset of r columns of X such that projecting X onto their span gives a r+1 r−k+1 -a...

Constant Ratio Fixed-Parameter Approximation of the Edge Multicut Problem
Abstract. The input of the Edge Multicut problem consists of an undirected graph G and pairs of terminals {s1, t1}, . . . , {sm, tm}; the task is to remove a minimum set of edges s...

Schema-Driven Evaluation of Approximate Tree-Pattern Queries
Abstract. We present a simple query language for XML, which supports hierarchical, Boolean-connected query patterns. The interpretation of a query is founded on cost-based query tr...
