Designing a Procedure for the Acquisition of Probability Constraints for Bayesian Networks
Among the various tasks involved in building a Bayesian network for a real-life application, the task of eliciting all probabilities required is generally considered the most daunt...

Vote Elicitation with Probabilistic Preference Models: Empirical Estimation and Cost Tradeoffs
A variety of preference aggregation schemes and voting rules have been developed in social choice to support group decision making. However, the requirement that participants provi...

Approximability of Probability Distributions
We consider the question of how well a given distribution can be approximated with probabilistic graphical models. We introduce a new parameter, effective treewidth, that captures...

Automatic verification of real-time systems with discrete probability distributions
We consider the timed automata model of [3], which allows the analysis of realtime systems expressed in terms of quantitative timing constraints. Traditional approaches to real-ti...

Reasoning about MDPs as Transformers of Probability Distributions
We consider Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) as transformers on probability distributions, where with respect to a scheduler that resolves nondeterminism, the MDP can be seen as ex...
