Stochastic dynamic programming with factored representations
Markov decisionprocesses(MDPs) haveproven to be popular models for decision-theoretic planning, but standard dynamic programming algorithms for solving MDPs rely on explicit, stat...

Robust Classification for Imprecise Environments
In real-world environments it usually is difficult to specify target operating conditions precisely, for example, target misclassification costs. This uncertainty makes building ro...

Interval Constraint Plotting for Interactive Visual Exploration of Implicitly Defined Relations
Conventional plotting programs adopt techniques such as adaptive sampling to approximate, but not to guarantee, correctness and completeness in graphing functions. Moreover, implic...

Towards a Characterisation of the Behaviour of Stochastic Local Search Algorithms for SAT
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...

Decision Analysis: A Personal Account of How It Got Started and Evolved
Then these analytically motivated abstractions were gradually made more intricate as the body of mathematical techniques grew. The trend went from elementary analysis of complex, i...
