A Sparse Sampling Algorithm for Near-Optimal Planning in Large Markov Decision Processes
An issue that is critical for the application of Markov decision processes MDPs to realistic problems is how the complexity of planning scales with the size of the MDP. In stochas...

Near-Optimal Sublinear Time Algorithms for Ulam Distance
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
