In this paper, we propose a novel Markov model-based formulation for the image annotation problem. In this formulation, we treat image annotation as a graph ranking problem, by de...
We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...
Abstract. Many agent coordination problems can be modeled as distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs). ADOPT is an asynchronous and distributed search algorithm that is...
In distributed combinatorial optimization problems, dynamic programming algorithms like DPOP ([Petcu and Faltings, 2005]) require only a linear number of messages, thus generating...
We consider the problem of picking (buying) an inexpensive s-t path in a graph where edges are owned by independent (selfish) agents, and the cost of an edge is known to its owner...
