Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

Healing the relevance vector machine through augmentation
The Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) is a sparse approximate Bayesian kernel method. It provides full predictive distributions for test cases. However, the predictive uncertainties ...

Facility Location with Dynamic Distance Functions
Facility location problems have always been studied with the assumption that the edge lengths in the network are static and do not change over time. The underlyingnetwork could be ...
