Letting loose a SPIDER on a network of POMDPs: generating quality guaranteed policies
Distributed Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (Distributed POMDPs) are a popular approach for modeling multi-agent systems acting in uncertain domains. Given the signi...

Fitting and Compilation of Multiagent Models through Piecewise Linear Functions
Decision-theoretic models have become increasingly popular as a basis for solving agent and multiagent problems, due to their ability to quantify the complex uncertainty and prefe...

Learning Inhomogeneous Gibbs Model of Faces by Minimax Entropy
In this paper we propose a novel inhomogeneous Gibbs model by the minimax entropy principle, and apply it to face modeling. The maximum entropy principle generalizes the statistic...

On the expected payment of mechanisms for task allocation
We study a representative task allocation problem called shortest paths: Let G be a graph in which the edges are owned by self interested agents. The cost of each edge is privatel...

Predicting Sporadic Grid Data Transfers
The increasingly common practice of replicating datasets and using resources as distributed data stores in Grid environments has led to the problem of determining which replica ca...
