Efficient Querying for Cooperative Probabilistic Commitments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiagent systems can use commitments as the core of a general coordination infrastructure, supporting both cooperative and non-cooperative interactions. Agents whose objectives are aligned, where one agent help another achieve greater reward by sacrificing some its own reward, should choose commitment to maximize their joint reward. We present solution problem how agents efficiently find an (approximately) optimal querying about carefully-selected choices. prove structural properties agents' values functions parameters specification, develop greedy method for composing query with provable approximation bounds, which we empirically show nearly in fraction time methods that lack our insights require.

Efficient querying and learning in probabilistic and temporal databases
Probabilistic databases store, query, and manage large amounts of uncertain information. This thesis advances the state-of-the-art in probabilistic databases in three different ways: 1. We present a closed and complete data model for temporal probabilistic databases and analyze its complexity. Queries are posed via temporal deduction rules which induce lineage formulas capturing both time and u...
متن کاملQuerying Probabilistic Information Extraction
Recently, there has been increasing interest in extending relational query processing to include data obtained from unstructured sources. A common approach is to use stand-alone Information Extraction (IE) techniques to identify and label entities within blocks of text; the resulting entities are then imported into a standard database and processed using relational queries. This two-part approa...
متن کاملMinimal Assumptions for Efficient Mercurial Commitments
Mercurial commitments were introduced by Chase et al. [8] and form a key building block for constructing zero-knowledge sets (introduced by Micali, Rabin and Kilian [27]). Unlike regular commitments, which are strictly binding, mercurial commitments allow for certain amount of (limited) freedom. The notion of [8] also required that mercurial commitments should be equivocable given a certain tra...
متن کاملProbabilistic Methods For Querying Global Information Systems
As databases undergo a paradigm shift from stand-alone applications to an architecture that supports data sharing on a global scale, they have to increasingly cope up with a fundamental problem: that of handling uncertainty and lack of information. Users often have to formulate queries over unfamiliar data sources: quite often they don’t understand their schema, or their particular representati...
متن کاملEfficient Object Querying for Java
Modern programming languages have little or no support for querying objects and collections. Programmers are forced to hand code such queries using nested loops, which is both cumbersome and inefficient. We demonstrate that first-class queries over objects and collections improve program readability, provide good performance and are applicable to a large number of common programming problems. W...
