The Value of Observation for Monitoring Dynamic Systems
We consider the fundamental problem of monitoring (i.e. tracking) the belief state in a dynamic system, when the model is only approximately correct and when the initial belief st...

Experimental study of hybrid-type distributed maximal constraint satisfaction algorithm
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general framework that can formalize various application problems in artificial intelligence. However, practical real-world problems t...

A Cost-Shaping LP for Bellman Error Minimization with Performance Guarantees
We introduce a new algorithm based on linear programming that approximates the differential value function of an average-cost Markov decision process via a linear combination of p...

Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Computation of Reference Priors and Minimax Risk
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...

Fault-tolerant facility location
We consider a fault-tolerant generalization of the classical uncapacitated facility location problem, where each client j has a requirement that rj distinct facilities serve it, i...
