Partially Linear Bayesian Estimation with Application to Sparse Approximations
—We address the problem of estimating a random vector X from two sets of measurements Y and Z, such that the estimator is linear in Y . We show that the partially linear minimum ...

Approximating power indices
Many multiagent domains where cooperation among agents is crucial to achieving a common goal can be modeled as coalitional games. However, in many of these domains, agents are une...

Online Interval Scheduling: Randomized and Multiprocessor Cases
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of equal-length intervals arriving online, where each interval is associated with a weight and the objective is to maximize the total we...

A tight bound on approximating arbitrary metrics by tree metrics
In this paper, we show that any n point metric space can be embedded into a distribution over dominating tree metrics such that the expected stretch of any edge is O(log n). This ...

Aggregation of partial rankings, p-ratings and top-m lists
We study the problem of aggregating partial rankings. This problem is motivated by applications such as meta-searching and information retrieval, search engine spam fighting, e-c...
