New Outer Bounds on the Marginal Polytope
We give a new class of outer bounds on the marginal polytope, and propose a cutting-plane algorithm for efficiently optimizing over these constraints. When combined with a concav...

New Mini-Bucket Partitioning Heuristics for Bounding the Probability of Evidence
Mini-Bucket Elimination (MBE) is a well-known approximation algorithm deriving lower and upper bounds on quantities of interest over graphical models. It relies on a procedure tha...

Regret Bounds for Prediction Problems
We present a unified framework for reasoning about worst-case regret bounds for learning algorithms. This framework is based on the theory of duality of convex functions. It brin...

General Lower Bounds for the Running Time of Evolutionary Algorithms
Abstract. We present a new method for proving lower bounds in evolutionary computation based on fitness-level arguments and an additional condition on transition probabilities bet...

Sharply Bounded Alternation and Quasilinear Time
We de ne the sharply bounded hierarchy, SBH(QL), a hierarchy of classes within P, using quasilinear-time computation and quanti cation over strings of length logn. It generalizes ...
