Finite-Sample Convergence Rates for Q-Learning and Indirect Algorithms
In this paper, we address two issues of long-standing interest in the reinforcement learning literature. First, what kinds of performance guarantees can be made for Q-learning aft...

An Empirical Study of Optimization for Maximizing Diffusion in Networks
Abstract. We study the problem of maximizing the amount of stochastic diffusion in a network by acquiring nodes within a certain limited budget. We use a Sample Average Approximati...

How experimental algorithmics can benefit from Mayo's extensions to Neyman-Pearson theory of testing
Although theoretical results for several algorithms in many application domains were presented during the last decades, not all algorithms can be analyzed fully theoretically. Exp...
