Randomized methods for solving the Winner Determination Problem in combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions, where buyers can bid on bundles of items rather than bidding them sequentially, often lead to more economically efficient allocations of financial resource...

An improved Akaike information criterion for state-space model selection
Following the work of Hurvich, Shumway, and Tsai (1990), we propose an "improved" variant of the Akaike information criterion, AICi, for state-space model selection. The...

Gamma expansion of the Heston stochastic volatility model
Abstract We derive an explicit representation of the transitions of the Heston stochastic volatility model and use it for fast and accurate simulation of the model. Of particular i...

Combining online and offline knowledge in UCT
The UCT algorithm learns a value function online using sample-based search. The TD() algorithm can learn a value function offline for the on-policy distribution. We consider three...
