With the goal to generate more scalable algorithms with higher efficiency and fewer open parameters, reinforcement learning (RL) has recently moved towards combining classical tec...
Combinatorial auctions have been used in procurement markets with economies of scope. Preference elicitation is already a problem in single-unit combinatorial auctions, but it bec...

Traditional automata accept or reject their input, and are therefore Boolean. In contrast, weighted automata map each word to a value from a semiring over a large domain. The speci...
In deletion propagation, tuples from the database are deleted in order to reflect the deletion of a tuple from the view. Such an operation may result in the (often necessary) del...
Researchers in the field of multiagent sequential decision making have commonly used the terms “weakly-coupled” and “loosely-coupled” to qualitatively classify problems i...
