Combinatorial Auctions (CAs), where users bid on combination of items, have emerged as a useful tool for resource allocation in distributed systems. However, two main difficulties...
Similarity measures are mechanisms that assign a numeric score indicating how closely two documents, or a document and a query match. The Cosine measure is one of the similarity m...
— We consider the problem of inferring sensor positions and a topological (i.e. qualitative) map of an environment given a set of cameras with non-overlapping fields of view. In...
Real world multiagent coordination problems are important issues for reinforcement learning techniques. In general, these problems are partially observable and this characteristic ...
We present black-box techniques for learning how to interleave the execution of multiple heuristics in order to improve average-case performance. In our model, a user is given a s...
