On Quadratic Threshold CSPs
A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...

An Entropic Estimator for Structure Discovery
We introduce a novel framework for simultaneous structure and parameter learning in hidden-variable conditional probability models, based on an entropic prior and a solution for i...

Open Constraint Optimization
Constraint satisfaction has been applied with great success in closed-world scenarios, where all options and constraints are known from the beginning and fixed. With the internet,...

Phase Change of Limit Laws in the Quicksort Recurrence under Varying Toll Functions
We characterize all limit laws of the quicksort type random variables defined recursively by Xn d = XIn + X n-1-In + Tn when the "toll function" Tn varies and satisfies ...
