In this paper we analyze the bi-conjugate gradient algorithm in finite precision arithmetic, and suggest reasons for its often observed robustness. By using a tridiagonal structure...
Abstract. While the original stable marriage problem requires all participants to rank all members of the opposite sex in a strict order, two natural variations are to allow for in...
Factored representations, model-based learning, and hierarchies are well-studied techniques for improving the learning efficiency of reinforcement-learning algorithms in large-sca...

Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...
Many stochastic planning problems can be represented using Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). A difficulty with using these MDP representations is that the common algorithms for so...
