On the advantage over a random assignment
: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...

Surveying and comparing simultaneous sparse approximation (or group-lasso) algorithms
In this paper, we survey and compare different algorithms that, given an overcomplete dictionary of elementary functions, solve the problem of simultaneous sparse signal approxim...

A POMDP Approximation Algorithm That Anticipates the Need to Observe
This paper introduces the even-odd POMDP, an approximation to POMDPs in which the world is assumed to be fully observable every other time step. The even-odd POMDP can be converte...
