Advice is a mechanism used by advanced object-oriented and aspect-oriented programming languages to augment the behavior of methods in a program. Advice can help to make programs m...
—Temperature has a strong influence on integrated circuit (IC) performance, power consumption, and reliability. However, accurate thermal analysis can impose high computation co...
In this paper, we consider the problem of planning and learning in the infinite-horizon discounted-reward Markov decision problems. We propose a novel iterative direct policysearc...
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

We consider the supervised learning of a binary classifier from noisy observations. We use smooth boosting to linearly combine abstaining hypotheses, each of which maps a subcube...
