"This course will consist of a number of major sections. The first will be a short review of some preliminary material, including asymptotics, summations, and recurrences and ...
Multi-Dimensional Expressions (MDX) provide an interface for asking several related OLAP queries simultaneously. An interesting problem is how to optimize the execution of an MDX q...
We present an algorithm for approximating a given open polygonal curve with a minimum number of circular arcs. In computer-aided manufacturing environments, the paths of cutting t...
In the minimum entropy set cover problem, one is given a collection of k sets which collectively cover an n-element ground set. A feasible solution of the problem is a partition o...
We consider a variant of the classic multi-armed bandit problem (MAB), which we call FEEDBACK MAB, where the reward obtained by playing each of n independent arms varies according...
