The stretch constraint occurs in many rostering problems that arise in the industrial and public service sectors. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for domain consist...
Because uncertain reasoning is often intractable, it is hard to reason with a large amount of knowledge. One solution to this problem is to specify a set of possible models, some s...

We study approaches that fit a linear combination of basis functions to the continuation value function of an optimal stopping problem and then employ a greedy policy based on the...
Multi-party secure computations are general important procedures to compute any function while keeping the security of private inputs. In this work we ask whether preprocessing can...

Abstract— We develop a general framework for MAP estimation in discrete and Gaussian graphical models using Lagrangian relaxation techniques. The key idea is to reformulate an in...
