Using Generalization Error Bounds to Train the Set Covering Machine
In this paper we eliminate the need for parameter estimation associated with the set covering machine (SCM) by directly minimizing generalization error bounds. Firstly, we consider...

Frugality ratios and improved truthful mechanisms for vertex cover
In set-system auctions, there are several overlapping teams of agents, and a task that can be completed by any of these teams. The auctioneer's goal is to hire a team and pay...

Near-Linear Time Construction of Sparse Neighborhood Covers
This paper introduces a near-linear time sequential algorithm for constructing a sparse neighborhood cover. This implies analogous improvements (from quadratic to near-linear time)...

Comparisons of Packet Scheduling Algorithms for Fair Service Among Connections on the Internet
Abstract—We investigate the performance of TCP under three representatives of packet scheduling algorithms at the router. Our main focus is to investigate how fair service can be...

Sequential Bundle-Bid Single-Sale Auction Algorithms for Decentralized Control
We study auction-like algorithms for the distributed allocation of tasks to cooperating agents. To reduce the team cost of sequential single-item auction algorithms, we generalize...
