Voting (or rank aggregation) is a general method for aggregating the preferences of multiple agents. One important voting rule is the Slater rule. It selects a ranking of the alte...
We introduce a semi-supervised support vector machine (S3 VM) method. Given a training set of labeled data and a working set of unlabeled data, S3 VM constructs a support vector m...
Background: Growing interest on biological pathways has called for new statistical methods for modeling and testing a genetic pathway effect on a health outcome. The fact that gen...
Achieving weighted throughput maximization (WTM) through power control has been a long standing open problem in interference-limited wireless networks. The complicated coupling bet...
In this paper, we study the following basic problem: After having executed a sequence of actions, find a sequence of actions that brings the agent back to the state just before th...
