Local ratio is a well-known paradigm for designing approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. At a very high level, a local-ratio algorithm first decomposes ...
Many groupware systems now allow people to converse and casually interact through their computers in quite rich ways—through text, images, video, artifact sharing and so on. If ...
We propose a new approach to reinforcement learning which combines least squares function approximation with policy iteration. Our method is model-free and completely off policy. ...
