Following recent interest in the study of computer science problems in a game theoretic setting, we consider the well known bin packing problem where the items are controlled by se...
Given an undirected multigraph G and a subset of vertices S V (G), the STEINER TREE PACKING problem is to find a largest collection of edge-disjoint trees that each connects S. T...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are an established framework for solving sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty. In this work, we propose a new method for batchmod...
It is well known that the two simple algorithms for the classic bin packing problem, NF and WF both have an approximation ratio of 2. However, WF seems to be a more reasonable alg...
Choosing an appropriate kernel is one of the key problems in kernel-based methods. Most existing kernel selection methods require that the class labels of the training examples ar...
