Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...

Quasi deterministic POMDPs and DecPOMDPs
In this paper, we study a particular subclass of partially observable models, called quasi-deterministic partially observable Markov decision processes (QDET-POMDPs), characterize...

Fast perfect sampling from linear extensions
In this paper, we study the problem of sampling (exactly) uniformly from the set of linear extensions of an arbitrary partial order. Previous Markov chain techniques have yielded ...

Dependency trees in sub-linear time and bounded memory
We focus on the problem of efficient learning of dependency trees. Once grown, they can be used as a special case of a Bayesian network, for PDF approximation, and for many other u...

Cooperation in Multi-organization Scheduling
The distributed nature of the grid results in the problem of scheduling parallel jobs produced by several independent organizations that have partial control over the system. We co...
