— We describe the development and testing of a metaheuristic procedure, based on the scatter search methodology, for the problem of approximating the efficient frontier of nonlin...
We propose a novel bound on single-variable marginal probability distributions in factor graphs with discrete variables. The bound is obtained by propagating local bounds (convex ...
We utilize the ensemble of trees framework, a tractable mixture over superexponential number of tree-structured distributions [1], to develop a new model for multivariate density ...
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general framework that can formalize various application problems in artificial intelligence. However, practical real-world problems t...
We study the impact of the distribution of node locations on key properties of wireless networks. In particular, using Monte Carlo simulations we study in detail the behavior of av...
