Performance evaluation with temporal rewards
Today many formalisms exist for specifying complex Markov chains. In contrast, formalisms for specifying rewards, enabling the analysis of long-run average performance properties,...

Near optimal lossy source coding and compression-based denoising via Markov chain Monte Carlo
— We propose an implementable new universal lossy source coding algorithm. The new algorithm utilizes two wellknown tools from statistical physics and computer science: Gibbs sam...

An Effective Approach to Verbose Queries Using a Limited Dependencies Language Model
Intuitively, any `bag of words' approach in IR should benefit from taking term dependencies into account. Unfortunately, for years the results of exploiting such dependencies ...

Robust Mixing
In this paper, we develop a new "robust mixing" framework for reasoning about adversarially modified Markov Chains (AMMC). Let P be the transition matrix of an irreducib...

Rate-Distortion via Markov Chain Monte Carlo
We propose an approach to lossy source coding, utilizing ideas from Gibbs sampling, simulated annealing, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The idea is to sample a reconstructio...
