Sparse SOS Relaxations for Minimizing Functions that are Summations of Small Polynomials
This paper discusses how to find the global minimum of functions that are summations of small polynomials ("small" means involving a small number of variables). Some spa...

Near-Bayesian exploration in polynomial time
We consider the exploration/exploitation problem in reinforcement learning (RL). The Bayesian approach to model-based RL offers an elegant solution to this problem, by considering...

Compression via matroids: a randomized polynomial kernel for odd cycle transversal
The Odd Cycle Transversal problem (OCT) asks whether a given graph can be made bipartite by deleting at most k of its vertices. In a breakthrough result Reed, Smith, and Vetta (Op...

Satisfiability Allows No Nontrivial Sparsification Unless The Polynomial-Time Hierarchy Collapses
Consider the following two-player communication process to decide a language L: The first player holds the entire input x but is polynomially bounded; the second player is computa...
