Adapting to a Changing Environment: the Brownian Restless Bandits
In the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem there are k distributions associated with the rewards of playing each of k strategies (slot machine arms). The reward distributions are ini...

On the Dynamics of Boosting
In order to understand AdaBoost’s dynamics, especially its ability to maximize margins, we derive an associated simplified nonlinear iterated map and analyze its behavior in lo...

Nonuniform Dynamic Discretization in Hybrid Networks
We consider probabilistic inference in general hybrid networks, which include continuous and discrete variables in an arbitrary topology. We reexamine the question of variable dis...

Heuristic Approach of Optimal Code Allocation in High Speed Downlink Packet Access Networks
— In this paper, we use the Markov Decision Process (MDP) technique to find the optimal code allocation policy in High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networks. A discrete ...
