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...

Graphical Model Inference in Optimal Control of Stochastic Multi-Agent Systems
In this article we consider the issue of optimal control in collaborative multi-agent systems with stochastic dynamics. The agents have a joint task in which they have to reach a ...

Approximate Model-Based Diagnosis Using Greedy Stochastic Search
Most algorithms for computing diagnoses within a modelbased diagnosis framework are deterministic. Such algorithms guarantee soundness and completeness, but are NPhard. To overcom...

Approximation in Preemptive Stochastic Online Scheduling
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
