Model-based function approximation in reinforcement learning
Reinforcement learning promises a generic method for adapting agents to arbitrary tasks in arbitrary stochastic environments, but applying it to new real-world problems remains di...

Viterbi Training for PCFGs: Hardness Results and Competitiveness of Uniform Initialization
We consider the search for a maximum likelihood assignment of hidden derivations and grammar weights for a probabilistic context-free grammar, the problem approximately solved by ...

Adaptive Kanerva-based function approximation for multi-agent systems
In this paper, we show how adaptive prototype optimization can be used to improve the performance of function approximation based on Kanerva Coding when solving largescale instanc...

Fast approximate correlation for massive time-series data
We consider the problem of computing all-pair correlations in a warehouse containing a large number (e.g., tens of thousands) of time-series (or, signals). The problem arises in a...

Binary Searching with Nonuniform Costs and Its Application to Text Retrieval
We study the problem of minimizing the expected cost of binary searching for data where the access cost is not fixed and depends on the last accessed element, such as data stored i...
