New Outer Bounds on the Marginal Polytope
We give a new class of outer bounds on the marginal polytope, and propose a cutting-plane algorithm for efficiently optimizing over these constraints. When combined with a concav...

Extending Dynamic Backtracking to Solve Weighted Conditional CSPs
Many planning and design problems can be characterized as optimal search over a constrained network of conditional choices with preferences. To draw upon the advanced methods of c...

Approximation algorithms for stochastic orienteering
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...
