Probabilistic Weighted Automata
Nondeterministic weighted automata are finite automata with numerical weights on transitions. They define quantitative languages L that assign to each word w a real number L(w). ...

Qualitative Logics and Equivalences for Probabilistic Systems
We investigate logics and equivalence relations that capture the qualitative behavior of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We present Qualitative Randomized Ctl (Qrctl): formulas o...

Rumours and reputation: evaluating multi-dimensional trust within a decentralised reputation system
In this paper we develop a novel probabilistic model of computational trust that explicitly deals with correlated multi-dimensional contracts. Our starting point is to consider an...

A Hilbert Space Embedding for Distributions
We describe a technique for comparing distributions without the need for density estimation as an intermediate step. Our approach relies on mapping the distributions into a reprodu...

Sampling Sub-problems of Heterogeneous Max-cut Problems and Approximation Algorithms
Abstract Abstract. Recent work in the analysis of randomized approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems has involved approximating the solution to a problem by the ...
