Clustering is often formulated as a discrete optimization problem. The objective is to find, among all partitions of the data set, the best one according to some quality measure....
The general dimension is a combinatorial measure that characterizes the number of queries needed to learn a concept class. We use this notion to show that any p-evaluatable concep...
We study the computational and sample complexity of parameter and structure learning in graphical models. Our main result shows that the class of factor graphs with bounded degree...
An Unobservable MDP (UMDP) is a POMDP in which there are no observations. An Only-Costly-Observable MDP (OCOMDP) is a POMDP which extends an UMDP by allowing a particular costly a...
— Scheduling in an ad hoc wireless network suffers from the non-convexity of the cost function, caused by the interference between communication links. In previous optimization t...
