Constructive Proofs of Concentration Bounds
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...

Using the Max-Plus Algorithm for Multiagent Decision Making in Coordination Graphs
Abstract. Coordination graphs offer a tractable framework for cooperative multiagent decision making by decomposing the global payoff function into a sum of local terms. Each age...

Global distance-based segmentation of trajectories
This work introduces distance-based criteria for segmentation of object trajectories. Segmentation leads to simplification of the original objects into smaller, less complex primi...
