Estimating Sum by Weighted Sampling
We study the classic problem of estimating the sum of n variables. The traditional uniform sampling approach requires a linear number of samples to provide any non-trivial guarante...

Almost Optimal Explicit Selectors
We understand selection by intersection as distinguishing a single element of a set by the uniqueness of its occurrence in some other set. More precisely, given two sets A and B, i...

"Almost Stable" Matchings in the Roommates Problem
An instance of the classical Stable Roommates problem (sr) need not admit a stable matching. This motivates the problem of finding a matching that is “as stable as possible”, ...

Reinforcement learning for games: failures and successes
We apply CMA-ES, an evolution strategy with covariance matrix adaptation, and TDL (Temporal Difference Learning) to reinforcement learning tasks. In both cases these algorithms se...

Optimization Properties for Classes of Conjunctive Regular Path Queries
Abstract. We are interested in the theoretical foundations of the optimization of conjunctive regular path queries (CRPQs). The basic problem here is deciding query containment bot...
