Loop Calculus, introduced by Chertkov and Chernyak, is a new technique to incrementally improve approximations computed by Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP), with the ability to even...
We describe a point-based policy iteration (PBPI) algorithm for infinite-horizon POMDPs. PBPI replaces the exact policy improvement step of Hansen’s policy iteration with point...

Whole-History Rating (WHR) is a new method to estimate the time-varying strengths of players involved in paired comparisons. Like many variations of the Elo rating system, the whol...
This paper discusses five different ways to approximate the loss rate in a fundamental two class priority system, where each class has its own finite capacity buffer, as well as an...

We study highly expressive query languages such as datalog, fixpoint, and while-languages on probabilistic databases. We generalize these languages such that computation steps (e....
