We define the robustness of a sequential plan as the probability that it will execute successfully despite uncertainty in the execution environment. We consider a rich notion of u...
Parallel scalability allows an application to efficiently utilize an increasing number of processing elements. In this paper we explore a design space for parallel scalability for...
In this paper we consider the problem of estimating discrete variables in a class of hybrid systems where we assume that the continuous variables are available for measurement. Usi...
We provide a provably efficient algorithm for learning Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with continuous state and action spaces in the online setting. Specifically, we take a mo...
— A long cherished goal in artificial intelligence has been the ability to endow a robot with the capacity to learn and generalize skills from watching a human teacher. Such an ...
