An Approximate Algorithm for Resource Allocation Using Combinatorial Auctions
Combinatorial Auctions (CAs), where users bid on combination of items, have emerged as a useful tool for resource allocation in distributed systems. However, two main difficulties...

Approximately counting integral flows and cell-bounded contingency tables
We consider the problem of approximately counting integral flows in a network. We show that there is an fpras based on volume estimation if all capacities are sufficiently large, ...

Parameterized Approximability of the Disjoint Cycle Problem
Abstract. We give an fpt approximation algorithm for the directed vertex disjoint cycle problem. Given a directed graph G with n vertices and a positive integer k, the algorithm co...

Linear Program Approximations for Factored Continuous-State Markov Decision Processes
Approximate linear programming (ALP) has emerged recently as one of the most promising methods for solving complex factored MDPs with finite state spaces. In this work we show th...

Variational approximations in Bayesian model selection for finite mixture distributions
Variational methods for model comparison have become popular in the neural computing/machine learning literature. In this paper we explore their application to the Bayesian analys...
