Abstract--We adapt methods originally developed in information and coding theory to solve some testing problems. The efficiency of two-stage pool testing of items is characterized ...
Proofs and empirical evidence are presented which show that a subset of algorithms can have identical performance over a subset of functions, even when the subset of functions is ...
We present an extension of the Dynamics Based Control (DBC) paradigm to environment models based on Predictive State Representations (PSRs). We show an approximate greedy version ...
