Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
The first stage in an adaptive finite element scheme (cf. [CAS95, bor1]) consists in creating an initial mesh of a given domain Ω, which is used to perform an initial computati...
Abstract-- When dealing with massive quantities of data, topk queries are a powerful technique for returning only the k most relevant tuples for inspection, based on a scoring func...
We present a framework for solving multistage pure 0–1 programs for a widely used sequencing and scheduling problem with uncertainty in the objective function coefficients, the...
