Risk-Aware Information Retrieval
Probabilistic retrieval models usually rank documents based on a scalar quantity. However, such models lack any estimate for the uncertainty associated with a document’s rank. Fu...

Effective solutions for real-world Stackelberg games: when agents must deal with human uncertainties
How do we build multiagent algorithms for agent interactions with human adversaries? Stackelberg games are natural models for many important applications that involve human intera...

On the MSE robustness of batching estimators
Variance is a classical measure of a point estimator's sampling error. In steady-state simulation experiments, many estimators of this variance--or its square root, the stand...

Learning Mixtures of Localized Rules by Maximizing the Area Under the ROC Curve
We introduce a model class for statistical learning which is based on mixtures of propositional rules. In our mixture model, the weight of a rule is not uniform over the entire ins...
