Infrastructure Leasing Problems
Consider the following Steiner Tree leasing problem. Given a graph G = (V, E) with root r, and a sequence of terminal sets Dt ⊆ V for each day t ∈ [T]. A feasible solution to t...

Fast Variational Inference for Large-scale Internet Diagnosis
Web servers on the Internet need to maintain high reliability, but the cause of intermittent failures of web transactions is non-obvious. We use approximate Bayesian inference to ...

Symbolic Dynamic Programming for First-Order MDPs
We present a dynamic programming approach for the solution of first-order Markov decisions processes. This technique uses an MDP whose dynamics is represented in a variant of the ...
