Simple Robots with Minimal Sensing: From Local Visibility to Global Geometry
We consider problems of geometric exploration and selfdeployment for simple robots that can only sense the combinatorial (non-metric) features of their surroundings. Even with suc...

Semi-Supervised Learning by Mixed Label Propagation
Recent studies have shown that graph-based approaches are effective for semi-supervised learning. The key idea behind many graph-based approaches is to enforce the consistency bet...

Kernel Regression with Order Preferences
We propose a novel kernel regression algorithm which takes into account order preferences on unlabeled data. Such preferences have the form that point x1 has a larger target value...

Learning Graphical Model Structure Using L1-Regularization Paths
Sparsity-promoting L1-regularization has recently been succesfully used to learn the structure of undirected graphical models. In this paper, we apply this technique to learn the ...

Conservative Dual Consistency
Consistencies are properties of Constraint Networks (CNs) that can be exploited in order to make inferences. When a significant amount of such inferences can be performed, CNs ar...

A Text-to-Picture Synthesis System for Augmenting Communication
We present a novel Text-to-Picture system that synthesizes a picture from general, unrestricted natural language text. The process is analogous to Text-to-Speech synthesis, but wi...

Adaptive Traitor Tracing with Bayesian Networks
The practical success of broadcast encryption hinges on the ability to (1) revoke the access of compromised keys and (2) determine which keys have been compromised. In this work w...

Learning to Solve QBF
We present a novel approach to solving Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF) that combines a search-based QBF solver with machine learning techniques. We show how classification met...
