A chain-model genetic algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning
Bayesian Networks are today used in various fields and domains due to their inherent ability to deal with uncertainty. Learning Bayesian Networks, however is an NP-Hard task [7]....

Approximating the Stochastic Knapsack Problem: The Benefit of Adaptivity
We consider a stochastic variant of the NP-hard 0/1 knapsack problem in which item values are deterministic and item sizes are independent random variables with known, arbitrary d...

Approximating Optimal Binary Decision Trees
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....
