This paper considers a distributed convex optimization problem over a time-varying multi-agent network, where each agent has its own decision variables that should be set so as to minimize its individual objective subject to local…
We present a multi-scale forward search algorithm for distributed agents to solve single-query shortest path planning problems. Each agent first builds a representation of its own search space of the common environment as a multi-resolution…
Action chunking can improve exploration and value estimation in long horizon reinforcement learning, but makes learning substantially harder since the critic must evaluate action sequences rather than single actions, greatly increasing…
In this paper we consider a distributed convex optimization problem over time-varying networks. We propose a dual method that converges R-linearly to the optimal point given that the agents' objective functions are strongly convex and have…
We consider a variant of the clustering problem for a complete weighted graph. The aim is to partition the nodes into clusters maximizing the sum of the edge weights within the clusters. This problem is known as the clique partitioning…
Dynamic Graph Neural Network (DGNN) has shown a strong capability of learning dynamic graphs by exploiting both spatial and temporal features. Although DGNN has recently received considerable attention by AI community and various DGNN…
DAG (directed acyclic graph) tasks are widely used to model parallel real-time workload. The real-time performance of a DAG task not only depends on its total workload, but also its graph structure. Intuitively, with the same total…
We consider the problem of quickly computing shortest paths in weighted graphs given auxiliary data derived in an expensive preprocessing phase. By adding a fast weight-customization phase, we extend Contraction Hierarchies by Geisberger et…
In this letter, we study distributed optimization, where a network of agents, abstracted as a directed graph, collaborates to minimize the average of locally-known convex functions. Most of the existing approaches over directed graphs are…
We study the classic problem of fairly dividing a heterogeneous and divisible resource -- represented by a cake, $[0,1]$ -- among $n$ agents. This work considers an interesting variant of the problem where agents are embedded on a graph.…
One area of research in multi-agent path finding is to determine how replanning can be efficiently achieved in the case of agents being delayed during execution. One option is to reschedule the passing order of agents, i.e., the sequence in…
Partitioning graphs into blocks of roughly equal size is widely used when processing large graphs. Currently there is a gap in the space of available partitioning algorithms. On the one hand, there are streaming algorithms that have been…
The minimum cut problem for an undirected edge-weighted graph asks us to divide its set of nodes into two blocks while minimizing the weight sum of the cut edges. Here, we introduce a linear-time algorithm to compute near-minimum cuts. Our…
Real-world applications often combine learning and optimization problems on graphs. For instance, our objective may be to cluster the graph in order to detect meaningful communities (or solve other common graph optimization problems such as…
Most graph neural networks (GNNs) use the message passing paradigm, in which node features are propagated on the input graph. Recent works pointed to the distortion of information flowing from distant nodes as a factor limiting the…
Shortest path queries over graphs are usually considered as isolated tasks, where the goal is to return the shortest path for each individual query. In practice, however, such queries are typically part of a system (e.g., a road network)…
Data deduplication has gained wide acclaim as a mechanism to improve storage efficiency and conserve network bandwidth. Its most critical phase, data chunking, is responsible for the overall space savings achieved via the deduplication…
Graph-structured data arise naturally in many different application domains. By representing data as graphs, we can capture entities (i.e., nodes) as well as their relationships (i.e., edges) with each other. Many useful insights can be…
We consider the classical cake-cutting problem where we wish to fairly divide a heterogeneous resource, often modeled as a cake, among interested agents. Work on the subject typically assumes that the cake is represented by an interval. In…
Conflict-Based Search is one of the most popular methods for multi-agent path finding. Though it is complete and optimal, it does not scale well. Recent works have been proposed to accelerate it by introducing various heuristics. However,…
