In distributed work systems, individual users perform work for other users. A significant challenge in these systems is to provide proper incentives for users to contribute as muc...
We present novel randomized algorithms for solving global motion planning problems that exploit the computational capabilities of many-core GPUs. Our approach uses thread and data...
Finite-state controllers represent an effective action selection mechanisms widely used in domains such as video-games and mobile robotics. In contrast to the policies obtained fr...
The Gibbard-Satterthwaite Theorem asserts that any reasonable voting rule cannot be strategyproof. A large body of research in AI deals with circumventing this theorem via computa...
In many auctions, agents bid more aggressively than selfinterest would prescribe. This can be explained by spite, where the agent's utility not only increases in the agent...
We consider the stochastic variant of the Canadian Traveler's Problem, a path planning problem where adverse weather can cause some roads to be untraversable. The agent does ...
