We consider the classical finite-state discounted Markovian decision problem, and we introduce a new policy iteration-like algorithm for finding the optimal state costs or Q-facto...
Trial-based approaches offer an efficient way to solve singleagent MDPs and POMDPs. These approaches allow agents to focus their computations on regions of the environment they en...
Sequence segmentation is a central problem in the analysis of sequential and time-series data. In this paper we introduce and we study a novel variation to the segmentation proble...
We show how to speed up two string-matching algorithms: the Boyer-Moore algorithm (BM algorithm), and its version called here the reverse factor algorithm (RF algorithm). The RF al...

We examine linear program (LP) approaches to boosting and demonstrate their efficient solution using LPBoost, a column generation based simplex method. We formulate the problem as...
