An important strength of learning classifier systems (LCSs) lies in the combination of genetic optimization techniques with gradient-based approximation techniques. The chosen app...

This paper presents the design and analysis of parallel approximation algorithms for facility-location problems, including NC and RNC algorithms for (metric) facility location, k-...
Bayesian learning, widely used in many applied data-modeling problems, is often accomplished with approximation schemes because it requires intractable computation of the posterio...
Variational inference methods, including mean field methods and loopy belief propagation, have been widely used for approximate probabilistic inference in graphical models. While ...
Several centralized and distributed algorithms have been recently proposed to maximize the multicast lifetime for directional communications in wireless ad-hoc networks. Their per...
