In this paper, we first show that many independent pseudorandom permutations over {0, 1}n can be obtained from a single public random permutation and secret n bits. We next prove ...
One-to-one codes are "one shot" codes that assign a distinct codeword to source symbols and are not necessarily prefix codes (more generally, uniquely decodable). For ex...
This paper examines the notion of symmetry in Markov decision processes (MDPs). We define symmetry for an MDP and show how it can be exploited for more effective learning in singl...
