Variational Minimax Estimation of Discrete Distributions under KL Loss
We develop a family of upper and lower bounds on the worst-case expected KL loss for estimating a discrete distribution on a finite number m of points, given N i.i.d. samples. Our...

An Empirical Evaluation of Possible Variations of Lazy Propagation
As real-world Bayesian networks continue to grow larger and more complex, it is important to investigate the possibilities for improving the performance of existing algorithms of ...

Deliberation in Equilibrium: Bargaining in Computationally Complex Problems
We develop a normative theory of interaction-negotiation in particular--among self-interested computationally limited agents where computational actions are game-theoretically tre...

Structured Reachability Analysis for Markov Decision Processes
Recent research in decision theoretic planning has focussedon making the solution of Markov decision processes (MDPs) more feasible. We develop a family of algorithms for structur...
