In this article a new algorithm for grid resource allocation based upon the theory of Algorithmic Mechanism Design (AMD) is presented. This algorithm is targeted at minimizing cost...
We introduce a new type of graphical model called a `cumulative distribution network' (CDN), which expresses a joint cumulative distribution as a product of local functions. ...
A query speller is crucial to search engine in improving web search relevance. This paper describes novel methods for use of distributional similarity estimated from query logs in...
: This paper presents a feature selection technique based on distributional differences for efficient machine learning. Initial training data consists of data including many featur...
— Metaheuristics such as Estimation of Distribution Algorithms and the Cross-Entropy method use probabilistic modelling and inference to generate candidate solutions in optimizat...
