On the Impossibility of Convex Inference in Human Computation
Human computation or crowdsourcing involves joint inference of the ground-truth-answers and the workerabilities by optimizing an objective function, for instance, by maximizing th...

Structured Sparsity with Group-Graph Regularization
In many learning tasks with structural properties, structural sparsity methods help induce sparse models, usually leading to better interpretability and higher generalization perf...

SMT-Based Nonlinear PDDL+ Planning
PDDL+ planning involves reasoning about mixed discretecontinuous change over time. Nearly all PDDL+ planners assume that continuous change is linear. We present a new technique th...

SCRAM: Scalable Collision-avoiding Role Assignment with Minimal-Makespan for Formational Positioning
Teams of mobile robots often need to divide up subtasks efficiently. In spatial domains, a key criterion for doing so may depend on distances between robots and the subtasks’ l...

Improving Exploration in UCT Using Local Manifolds
Monte Carlo planning has been proven successful in many sequential decision-making settings, but it suffers from poor exploration when the rewards are sparse. In this paper, we im...
