Asking the Right Questions: Model-driven Optimization using Probes
Summary: Framework for model-driven selection of probes to resolve distributional uncertainty in parameters and maximize expected objectives under resource constraints, unifying tasks from anomaly detection to sensor networks and routing. Shows NP-hardness and gives greedy algorithms with provable approximation guarantees via novel submodularity arguments. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
