Combining integer programming and the randomization method to schedule employees
: We describe a method to find low cost shift schedules with a time-varying service level that is always above a specified minimum. Most previous approaches used a two-step procedu...

Power optimization of weighted bit-product summation tree for elementary function generator
— In this paper we propose a method for lowering the power consumption in our previously proposed method for approximating elementary functions. By rearranging the interconnect o...

A Complete and Tight Average-Case Analysis of Learning Monomials
Abstract. We advocate to analyze the average complexity of learning problems. An appropriate framework for this purpose is introduced. Based on it we consider the problem of learni...

Church: a language for generative models
Formal languages for probabilistic modeling enable re-use, modularity, and descriptive clarity, and can foster generic inference techniques. We introduce Church, a universal langu...
