—The implementation of distributed network utility maximization (NUM) algorithms hinges heavily on information feedback through message passing among network elements. In practic...
Policy gradient (PG) reinforcement learning algorithms have strong (local) convergence guarantees, but their learning performance is typically limited by a large variance in the e...
We present an approach for merging message streams from producers distributed over a network, using a deterministic algorithm that is independent of any nondeterminism of the syst...
Estimation of distribution algorithms replace the typical crossover and mutation operators by constructing a probabilistic model and generating offspring according to this model....
This paper addresses the difficult problem of selecting representative samples of peer properties (e.g., degree, link bandwidth, number of files shared) in unstructured peer-to-p...
