Bounded approximate decentralised coordination via the max-sum algorithm
In this paper we propose a novel approach to decentralised coordination, that is able to efficiently compute solutions with a guaranteed approximation ratio. Our approach is base...

On Binary Searching with Nonuniform Costs
Let us consider an ordered vector A[1 : n]. If the cost of testing each position is similar, then the standard binary search is the best strategy to search the vector. This is true...

Approximating true relevance distribution from a mixture model based on irrelevance data
Pseudo relevance feedback (PRF), which has been widely applied in IR, aims to derive a distribution from the top n pseudo relevant documents D. However, these documents are often ...

Integrating decision space diversity into hypervolume-based multiobjective search
Multiobjective optimization in general aims at learning about the problem at hand. Usually the focus lies on objective space properties such as the front shape and the distributio...

Commitment-driven distributed joint policy search
Decentralized MDPs provide powerful models of interactions in multi-agent environments, but are often very difficult or even computationally infeasible to solve optimally. Here we...
