Sensor Scheduling for Optimal Observability Using Estimation Entropy
We consider sensor scheduling as the optimal observability problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP). This model fits to the cases where a Markov process ...

Efficient Parallel Query Processing by Graph Ranking
In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...

Mean Field Variational Approximation for Continuous-Time Bayesian Networks
Continuous-time Bayesian networks is a natural structured representation language for multicomponent stochastic processes that evolve continuously over time. Despite the compact r...

Partitioned Linear Programming Approximations for MDPs
Approximate linear programming (ALP) is an efficient approach to solving large factored Markov decision processes (MDPs). The main idea of the method is to approximate the optimal...

Approximately Efficient Online Mechanism Design
Online mechanism design (OMD) addresses the problem of sequential decision making in a stochastic environment with multiple self-interested agents. The goal in OMD is to make valu...
