New Look-Ahead Schemes for Constraint Satisfaction
This paper presents new look-ahead schemes for backtracking search when solving constraint satisfaction problems. The look-ahead schemes compute a heuristic for value ordering and...

Biased Minimax Probability Machine for Medical Diagnosis
The Minimax Probability Machine (MPM) constructs a classifier, which provides a worst-case bound on the probability of misclassification of future data points based on reliable ...

Combining Symmetry Breaking with Other Constraints: Lexicographic Ordering with Sums
Abstract. We introduce a new global constraint which combines together the lexicographic ordering constraint with two sum constraints. Lexicographic ordering constraints are freque...

Heuristics for a Brokering Set Packing Problem
In this paper we formulate the combinatorial auction brokering problem as a Set Packing Problem (SPP) and apply a simulated annealing heuristic to solve SPP. Experimental results ...

A Framework for Sequential Planning in Multi-Agent Settings
This paper extends the framework of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) to multi-agent settings by incorporating the notion of agent models into the state spac...

Generalized Opinion Pooling
In this paper we analyze the problem of opinion pooling. We introduce a divergence minimization framework to solve the problem of standard opinion pooling. Our results show that v...

Approximate Probabilistic Constraints and Risk-Sensitive Optimization Criteria in Markov Decision Processes
The majority of the work in the area of Markov decision processes has focused on expected values of rewards in the objective function and expected costs in the constraints. Althou...

Using the Central Limit Theorem for Belief Network Learning
Learning the parameters (conditional and marginal probabilities) from a data set is a common method of building a belief network. Consider the situation where we have known graph s...

The Expressive Rate of Constraints
In reasoning tasks involving logical formulas, high expressiveness is desirable, although it often leads to high computational complexity. We study a simple measure of expressiven...
