Gadgets, Approximation, and Linear Programming
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

On Approximating Four Covering and Packing Problems
In this paper, we consider approximability issues of the following four problems: triangle packing, full sibling reconstruction, maximum profit coverage and 2-coverage. All of th...

Algorithm-Directed Exploration for Model-Based Reinforcement Learning in Factored MDPs
One of the central challenges in reinforcement learning is to balance the exploration/exploitation tradeoff while scaling up to large problems. Although model-based reinforcement ...
