An Implicit Cover Problem in Wild Population Study
In an implicit combinatorial optimization problem, the constraints are not enumerated explicitly but rather stated implicitly through equations, other constraints or auxiliary alg...

Decentralized task assignment in camera networks
The problem of task assignment naturally arises in multiagent multitask systems, where an optimal matching of agents and tasks is sought. This problem is a combinatorial optimizati...

The one-commodity traveling salesman problem with selective pickup and delivery: An ant colony approach
We introduce a novel combinatorial optimization problem: the one-commodity traveling salesman problem with selective pickup and delivery (1-TSP-SELPD), characterized by the fact th...

Near-Optimal Sensor Placements in Gaussian Processes: Theory, Efficient Algorithms and Empirical Studies
When monitoring spatial phenomena, which can often be modeled as Gaussian processes (GPs), choosing sensor locations is a fundamental task. There are several common strategies to ...

Domination analysis for minimum multiprocessor scheduling
Let P be a combinatorial optimization problem, and let A be an approximation algorithm for P. The domination ratio domr(A, s) is the maximal real q such that the solution x(I) obt...

PAC-learning Bounded Tree-width Graphical Models
We show that the class of strongly connected graphical models with treewidth at most k can be properly efficiently PAC-learnt with respect to the Kullback-Leibler Divergence. Prev...
