Path-sampling for state-dependent importance sampling
State-dependent importance sampling (SDIS) has proved to be particularly useful in simulation (specially in rare event analysis of stochastic systems). One approach for designing ...

Fast Variational Inference for Large-scale Internet Diagnosis
Web servers on the Internet need to maintain high reliability, but the cause of intermittent failures of web transactions is non-obvious. We use approximate Bayesian inference to ...

CORL: A Continuous-state Offset-dynamics Reinforcement Learner
Continuous state spaces and stochastic, switching dynamics characterize a number of rich, realworld domains, such as robot navigation across varying terrain. We describe a reinfor...

Performance analysis of a mobile communication network: the tandem case
This paper investigates mobile communication networks consisting of N-cells in tandem. Two models with fixed channel assignment are considered, which correspond to (A) a uni-direc...

A Geometric Approach to Lower Bounds for Approximate Near-Neighbor Search and Partial Match
This work investigates a geometric approach to proving cell probe lower bounds for data structure problems. We consider the approximate nearest neighbor search problem on the Bool...
