Abstract-- This paper introduces a deterministic approximation algorithm with error guarantees for computing the probability of propositional formulas over discrete random variable...
Abstract. We consider a problem that is related to the “Universal Encoding Problem” from information theory. The basic goal is to find rules that map “partial information”...
Predictive state representations (PSRs) are models that represent the state of a dynamical system as a set of predictions about future events. The existing work with PSRs focuses ...

Consider a rooted directed acyclic graph G = (V, E) with root r, representing a collection V of web pages connected via a set E of hyperlinks. Each node v is associated with the pr...
We combine the work of Garg and K¨onemann, and Fleischer with ideas from dynamic graph algorithms to obtain faster (1 − ε)-approximation schemes for various versions of the mu...
