We consider the problem of query rewrites in the context of keyword advertisement. Given a three-layer graph consisting of queries, query rewrites, and the corresponding ads that ...

Abstract. We consider the problem of estimating the length of a shortest path in a DAG whose edge lengths are known only approximately but can be determined exactly at a cost. Init...
We consider the problem of multirate network design with point-to-multipoint communications. We give a mathematical formulation for this problem. Using approximations, we show that...
In this work we address the problem of solving multiscenario optimization models that are deterministic equivalents of two-stage stochastic programs. We present a heuristic approx...
This paper is concerned with developing an information-theoretic framework to aggregate the state space of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) on discrete state and observation spaces. The...
