Thresholded Rewards: Acting Optimally in Timed, Zero-Sum Games
In timed, zero-sum games, the goal is to maximize the probability of winning, which is not necessarily the same as maximizing our expected reward. We consider cumulative intermedi...

An Approximate Algorithm for Resource Allocation Using Combinatorial Auctions
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...

On a stochastic sequencing and scheduling problem
We present a framework for solving multistage pure 0–1 programs for a widely used sequencing and scheduling problem with uncertainty in the objective function coefficients, the...

When LP is the Cure for Your Matching Woes: Improved Bounds for Stochastic Matchings
Abstract Consider a random graph model where each possible edge e is present independently with some probability pe. Given these probabilities, we want to build a large/heavy match...

Stochastic Natural Gradient Descent by estimation of empirical covariances
—Stochastic relaxation aims at finding the minimum of a fitness function by identifying a proper sequence of distributions, in a given model, that minimize the expected value o...
