In distributed constraint optimization problems, dynamic programming methods have been recently proposed (e.g. DPOP). In dynamic programming many valuations are grouped together i...
Online services such as web search, news portals, and ecommerce applications face the challenge of providing highquality experiences to a large, heterogeneous user base. Recent ef...
We examine online learning in the context of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST), a task for which the concept acquisition strategies for human and other primates are well docu...

Imagine a resource allocation scenario in which the interested parties can, at a cost, individually research ways of using the resource to be allocated, potentially increasing the...
2) a set of abstract drama manager; 3) a model of player response to drama manager actions; and 4) an author-specified evaluation function. The drama manager's task is to sele...
This paper debuts a novel application of speech recognition to foreign language learning. We present a generic framework for developing user-customizable card games designed to ai...
In this paper, we combine for the first time the methods of dynamic mechanism design with techniques from decentralized decision making under uncertainty. Consider a multi-agent s...
Unlike English, where unfamiliar words can be queried for its meaning by typing out its letters, the analogous operation in Chinese is far from trivial due to the nature of its wr...
