Maximum Likelihood Bounded Tree-Width Markov Networks
We study the problem of projecting a distribution onto (or finding a maximum likelihood distribution among) Markov networks of bounded tree-width. By casting it as the combinatori...

Stochastic Models for Budget Optimization in Search-Based Advertising
Internet search companies sell advertisement slots based on users’ search queries via an auction. Advertisers have to solve a complex optimization problem of how to place bids o...

On Approximating an Implicit Cover Problem in Biology
Abstract. In an implicit combinatorial optimization problem, the constraints are not enumerated explicitly but rather stated implicitly through equations, other constraints or auxi...

Automated Analysis of Simulation Traces - Separating Progress from Repetitive Behavior
Among the many stages of a simulation study, debugging a simulation model is the one that is hardly reported on but that may consume a considerable amount of time and effort. In t...

Towards a Characterisation of the Behaviour of Stochastic Local Search Algorithms for SAT
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...
