Negotiation has been extensively discussed in gametheoretic, economic, and management science literatures for decades. Recent growing interest in electronic commerce has given inc...
Model learning combined with dynamic programming has been shown to be e ective for learning control of continuous state dynamic systems. The simplest method assumes the learned mod...
We show how to nd a minimum weight loop cutset in a Bayesian network with high probability. Finding such a loop cutset is the rst step in the method of conditioning for inference....
Abstract. There is currently a large interest in relational probabilistic models. While the concept of context-specific independence (CSI) has been well-studied for models such as ...
