The Exponentiated Subgradient Algorithm for Heuristic Boolean Programming
Boolean linear programs (BLPs) are ubiquitous in AI. Satisfiability testing, planning with resource constraints, and winner determination in combinatorial auctions are all example...

Differential-revelation VCG mechanisms for combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions, where bidders can submit bids on bundles of items, are economically efficient mechanisms for selling items to bidders, and are attractive when the bidders...

Applying metaheuristic techniques to search the space of bidding strategies in combinatorial auctions
Many non-cooperative settings that could potentially be studied using game theory are characterized by having very large strategy spaces and payoffs that are costly to compute. Be...

Optimal Protein Threading by Cost-Splitting
Abstract. In this paper, we use integer programming approach for solving a hard combinatorial optimization problem, namely protein threading. For this sequence-to-structure alignme...

Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...
