Abstract--In this paper, we consider a competitive approach to sequential decision problems, suitable for a variety of signal processing applications where at each of a succession ...
Deep Belief Networks (DBN's) are generative models that contain many layers of hidden variables. Efficient greedy algorithms for learning and approximate inference have allow...
The coalition formation process, in which a number of independent, autonomous agents come together to act as a collective, is an important form of interaction in multi-agent system...
The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a central problem in combinatorial optimization. Several famous computationally hard tasks, such as graph matching, partitioning, and the...
The main contribution of this paper is a bulk-loading algorithm for multi-way dynamic metric access methods based on the covering radius of a representative, like the Slim-tree. Th...
