We consider the multi-class classification problem, based on vector observation sequences, where the conditional (given class observations) probability distributions for each class...
We consider derivative free methods based on sampling approaches for nonlinear optimization problems where derivatives of the objective function are not available and cannot be dir...
Abstract— Research on numerical solution methods for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) has primarily focused on discrete-state models, and these algorithms ...
We investigate label efficient prediction, a variant, proposed by Helmbold and Panizza, of the problem of prediction with expert advice. In this variant, the forecaster, after gues...
In 2000, Reimer proved that a positive weight quadrature rule on the unit sphere Sd ⊂ Rd+1 has the property of quadrature regularity. Hesse and Sloan used a related property, ca...
