The problem of determining the cutwidth of a graph is a notoriously hard problem which remains NP-complete under severe restrictions on input graphs. Until recently, non-trivial p...

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...
We present a reduction from graphical games to Markov random fields so that pure Nash equilibria in the former can be found by statistical inference on the latter. Our result, wh...

Abstract We propose an exact algorithm for counting the models of propositional formulas in conjunctive normal form (CNF). Our algorithm is based on the detection of strong backdoo...
We present a new approach to representing coalitional games based on rules that describe the marginal contributions of the agents. This representation scheme captures characterist...
