Confusion networks are a simple representation of multiple speech recognition or translation hypotheses in a machine translation system. A typical operation on a confusion network...
We study the stochastic machine replenishment problem, which is a canonical special case of closed multiclass queuing systems in Markov decision theory. The problem models the sche...
In this paper we examine the diffusion of competing rumors in social networks. Two players select a disjoint subset of nodes as initiators of the rumor propagation, seeking to maxi...
Guided by the goal of obtaining an optimization algorithm that is both fast and yields good generalization, we study the descent direction maximizing the decrease in generalizatio...

We address the task of problem determination in a distributed system using probes, or test transactions, which gather information about system components. Effective probing requir...
