Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
We study auction-like algorithms for the distributed allocation of tasks to cooperating agents. To reduce the team cost of sequential single-item auction algorithms, we generalize...

This paper introduces a new collective learning genetic algorithm (CLGA) which employs individual learning to do intelligent recombination based on a cooperative exchange of knowl...
Cooperative games are those in which both agents share the same payoff structure. Valuebased reinforcement-learning algorithms, such as variants of Q-learning, have been applied t...

Abstract. A new algorithm is presented for detecting whether a particular computation of an asynchronous distributed system satisfies Poss Φ (read “possibly Φ”), meaning the...
