Exact Graph Structure Estimation with Degree Priors
We describe a generative model for graph edges under specific degree distributions which admits an exact and efficient inference method for recovering the most likely structure. T...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

PAC-learning Bounded Tree-width Graphical Models
We show that the class of strongly connected graphical models with treewidth at most k can be properly efficiently PAC-learnt with respect to the Kullback-Leibler Divergence. Prev...

Sampling-based Approximation Algorithms for Multi-stage Stochastic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems provide a means to model uncertainty in the input data where the uncertainty is modeled by a probability distribution over the possible realizatio...
