We introduce an expectation maximizationtype (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood optimization of conditional densities. It is applicable to hidden variable models where the dist...
The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) forms the core of the JPEG2000 image compression algorithm. Since the JPEG2000 compression application is heavily data-intensive, the overall ...
We investigate the conception that the sample variance of the control variate (CV) should be used for estimating the optimal linear CV weight, even when the CV variance is known. ...
Join the Shortest Queue (JSQ) is a popular routing policy for server farms. However, until now all analysis of JSQ has been limited to First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS) server farms, ...

For a Markov Decision Process with finite state (size S) and action spaces (size A per state), we propose a new algorithm--Delayed Q-Learning. We prove it is PAC, achieving near o...
