Active learning is a generic approach to accelerate training of classifiers in order to achieve a higher accuracy with a small number of training examples. In the past, simple ac...
We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give...
Learning undirected graphical models such as Markov random fields is an important machine learning task with applications in many domains. Since it is usually intractable to learn...

Abstract. In this paper we consider a class of hybrid stochastic games with the piecewise openloop information structure. These games are indexed over a parameter which represents...
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is (1) to provide a theoretical justification for the use of Monte-Carlo sampling for approximate resolution of NP-hard maximization problems in...
