In the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem there are k distributions associated with the rewards of playing each of k strategies (slot machine arms). The reward distributions are ini...
We investigate the notions of may- and mustapproximation in Erratic Idealized Algol (a nondeterministic extension of Idealized Algol), and give explicit characterizations of both ...
We address the connection between the multiple-description (MD) problem and Delta-Sigma quantization. The inherent redundancy due to oversampling in Delta-Sigma quantization, and ...
In a cluster of multiple processors or cpu-cores, many processes may run on each compute node. Each process tends to issue contiguous I/O requests for snapshot, checkpointing or s...
In evolutionary algorithms a common method for encoding neural networks is to use a tree-structured assembly procedure for constructing them. Since node operators have difficulties...
