Off-Policy Temporal Difference Learning with Function Approximation
We introduce the first algorithm for off-policy temporal-difference learning that is stable with linear function approximation. Off-policy learning is of interest because it forms...

Sublinear Optimization for Machine Learning
Abstract--We give sublinear-time approximation algorithms for some optimization problems arising in machine learning, such as training linear classifiers and finding minimum enclos...

Reducing mechanism design to algorithm design via machine learning
We use techniques from sample-complexity in machine learning to reduce problems of incentive-compatible mechanism design to standard algorithmic questions, for a broad class of re...

Trading Accuracy for Sparsity in Optimization Problems with Sparsity Constraints
We study the problem of minimizing the expected loss of a linear predictor while constraining its sparsity, i.e., bounding the number of features used by the predictor. While the r...

Improving reinforcement learning function approximators via neuroevolution
Reinforcement learning problems are commonly tackled with temporal difference methods, which use dynamic programming and statistical sampling to estimate the long-term value of ta...
