We utilize the ensemble of trees framework, a tractable mixture over superexponential number of tree-structured distributions [1], to develop a new model for multivariate density ...
It is well known that the maximum weighted independent set (MWIS) problem is NP-complete. Moreover, optimal scheduling in wireless networks requires solving a MWIS problem. Conseq...
This paper considers online stochastic optimization problems where time constraints severely limit the number of offline optimizations which can be performed at decision time and/...
Recent algorithms provide powerful solutions to the problem of determining cost-minimizing (or revenue-maximizing) allocations of items in combinatorial auctions. However, in many...
We study the problem of orienting the edges of a weighted graph such that the maximum weighted outdegree of vertices is minimized. This problem, which has applications in the guar...
