We examine linear program (LP) approaches to boosting and demonstrate their efficient solution using LPBoost, a column generation based simplex method. We formulate the problem as...

We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
We give efficient algorithms to sample uniformly, and count approximately, the solutions to a zero-one knapsack problem. The algorithm is based on using dynamic programming to pro...
We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...
