Column generation algorithms have been specially designed for solving mathematical programs with a huge number of variables. Unfortunately, this method suffers from slow convergen...
In many retrieval tasks, one important goal involves retrieving a diverse set of results (e.g., documents covering a wide range of topics for a search query). First of all, this r...
In this paper we consider sampling based fitted value iteration for discounted, large (possibly infinite) state space, finite action Markovian Decision Problems where only a gener...
Software components, if usedproperly, ofj~r many software engineering benefits. Yet, they also pose many original challenges starting fi'om quality assurance and ranging to a...
— The amount of time and resources that have to be spent on debugging of embedded cores continuously increases. Approaches valid 10 years ago can no longer be used due to the var...
