Point-based backup for decentralized POMDPs: complexity and new algorithms
Decentralized POMDPs provide an expressive framework for sequential multi-agent decision making. Despite their high complexity, there has been significant progress in scaling up e...

Planning with Durative Actions in Stochastic Domains
Probabilistic planning problems are typically modeled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). MDPs, while an otherwise expressive model, allow only for sequential, non-durative action...

Optimal LLR Clipping Levels for Mixed Hard/Soft Output Detection
Abstract—Consider a communications system where the detector generates a mix of hard and soft outputs, which are then fed into a soft-input channel decoder. In such a setting, it...

Cost-Based Optimization for Magic: Algebra and Implementation
Magic sets rewriting is a well-known optimization heuristic for complex decision-support queries. There can be many variants of this rewriting even for a single query, which diffe...
