We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...
Multidimensional models are at the core of data warehouse systems, since they allow decision makers to early define the relevant information and queries that are required to satis...
Boolean matching for multiple-output functions determines whether two given (in)completely-specified function vectors can be identical to each other under permutation and/or negat...
Abstract. Quantified Boolean formulae (QBF) allow compact encoding of many decision problems. Their importance motivated the development of fast QBF solvers. Certifying the result...
Abstract— We recast the problem of unconstrained continuous evolutionary optimization as inference in a fixed graphical model. This approach allows us to address several pervasi...
