Often one has a preference order among the different systems that satisfy a given specification. Under a probabilistic assumption about the possible inputs, such a preference order...

Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
Query substitution is an important problem in information retrieval. Much work focuses on how to find substitutes for any given query. In this paper, we study how to efficiently ...
We consider a variant of the classic multi-armed bandit problem (MAB), which we call FEEDBACK MAB, where the reward obtained by playing each of n independent arms varies according...
This survey is concerned with the size of perfect formulations for combinatorial optimization problems. By "perfect formulation", we mean a system of linear inequalities...
