Approximate Min-Max Theorems of Steiner Rooted-Orientations of Hypergraphs
Given an undirected hypergraph and a subset of vertices S ⊆ V with a specified root vertex r ∈ S, the STEINER ROOTED-ORIENTATION problem is to find an orientation of all the...

Bayesian Learning in Undirected Graphical Models: Approximate MCMC Algorithms
Bayesian learning in undirected graphical models--computing posterior distributions over parameters and predictive quantities-is exceptionally difficult. We conjecture that for ge...

An Approximate Algorithm for Resource Allocation Using Combinatorial Auctions
Combinatorial Auctions (CAs), where users bid on combination of items, have emerged as a useful tool for resource allocation in distributed systems. However, two main difficulties...

Computing Minimal Diagnoses by Greedy Stochastic Search
Most algorithms for computing diagnoses within a modelbased diagnosis framework are deterministic. Such algorithms guarantee soundness and completeness, but are P 2 hard. To overc...

Generalized approximate counting revisited
A large class of q-distributions is defined on the stochastic model of Bernoulli trials in which the probability of success (=advancing to the next level) depends geometrically on...
