Fair Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation over Fading TDMA Channels
In this paper, we consider the energy-efficient resource allocation that minimizes a general cost function of average user powers in wireless networks. A class of so-called -fair c...

Fast Rates for Regularized Objectives
We study convergence properties of empirical minimization of a stochastic strongly convex objective, where the stochastic component is linear. We show that the value attained by t...

On Using Monte Carlo Methods for Scheduling
Monte Carlo techniques have long been used (since Buffon's experiment to approximate the value of by tossing a needle onto striped paper) to analyze phenomena which, due to ...

An Importance Sampling Algorithm Based on Evidence Pre-propagation
Precision achieved by stochastic sampling algorithms for Bayesian networks typically deteriorates in face of extremely unlikely evidence. To address this problem, we propose the E...

Exploiting Model Uncertainty Estimates for Safe Dynamic Control Learning
Model learning combined with dynamic programming has been shown to be e ective for learning control of continuous state dynamic systems. The simplest method assumes the learned mod...
