We consider stochastic impulse control problems where the process is driven by one-dimensional diffusions. Impulse control problems are widely applied to financial engineering and...
Prediction markets efficiently extract and aggregate the private information held by individuals about events and facts that can be publicly verified. However, facts such as the e...
Evaluation measures act as objective functions to be optimized by information retrieval systems. Such objective functions must accurately reflect user requirements, particularly w...

Markov decisionprocesses(MDPs) haveproven to be popular models for decision-theoretic planning, but standard dynamic programming algorithms for solving MDPs rely on explicit, stat...
This paper describes a novel method by which a spoken dialogue system can learn to choose an optimal dialogue strategy from its experience interacting with human users. The method...
