Optimal linear fusion for distributed detection via semidefinite programming
Consider the problem of signal detection via multiple distributed noisy sensors. We propose a linear decision fusion rule to combine the local statistics from individual sensors i...

Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...

Multiple-Instance Learning via Disjunctive Programming Boosting
Learning from ambiguous training data is highly relevant in many applications. We present a new learning algorithm for classification problems where labels are associated with se...
