MIST: Distributed Indexing and Querying in Sensor Networks using Statistical Models
The modeling of high level semantic events from low level sensor signals is important in order to understand distributed phenomena. For such content-modeling purposes, transformat...

Testing monotonicity of distributions over general partial orders
We investigate the number of samples required for testing the monotonicity of a distribution with respect to an arbitrary underlying partially ordered set. Our first result is a n...

Qualitative Analysis of Partially-Observable Markov Decision Processes
We study observation-based strategies for partially-observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with parity objectives. An observationbased strategy relies on partial information...

Learning Markov networks: maximum bounded tree-width graphs
Markov networks are a common class of graphical models used in machine learning. Such models use an undirected graph to capture dependency information among random variables in a ...

Concave Programming Upper Bounds on the Capacity of 2-D Constraints
The capacity of 1-D constraints is given by the entropy of a corresponding stationary maxentropic Markov chain. Namely, the entropy is maximized over a set of probability distribut...
