Learning Domain-Specific Control Knowledge from Random Walks
We describe and evaluate a system for learning domainspecific control knowledge. In particular, given a planning domain, the goal is to output a control policy that performs well ...

Integration and Optimization of Multivariate Polynomials by Restriction onto a Random Subspace
Abstract. We consider the problem of efficient integration of an n-variate polynomial with respect to the Gaussian measure in Rn and related problems of complex integration and opt...

Random disease on the square grid
We introduce some generalizations of a nice combinatorial problem, the central notion of which is the so-called Disease Process. Let us color independently each square of an n×n c...

Computing pure nash equilibria in graphical games via markov random fields
We present a reduction from graphical games to Markov random fields so that pure Nash equilibria in the former can be found by statistical inference on the latter. Our result, wh...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
