Random walk with long-range interaction with a barrier and its dual: Exact results
We consider the random walk on Z+ = {0, 1, ...} , with up and down transition probabilities given the chain is in state x {1, 2, ...}: (1) px = 1 2 ,, 1 2x +

ProbLog: A Probabilistic Prolog and Its Application in Link Discovery
We introduce ProbLog, a probabilistic extension of Prolog. A ProbLog program defines a distribution over logic programs by specifying for each clause the probability that it belo...

Unifying practical uncertainty representations. II: Clouds
There exist many tools for capturing imprecision in probabilistic representations. Among them are random sets, possibility distributions, probability intervals, and the more recen...

On the local performance of simulated annealing and the (1+1) evolutionary algorithm
Simulated annealing and the (1+1) EA, a simple evolutionary algorithm, are both general randomized search heuristics that optimize any objective function with probability

Confidently Cutting a Cake into Approximately Fair Pieces
We give a randomized protocol for the classic cake cutting problem that guarantees approximate proportional fairness, and with high probability uses a linear number of cuts.
