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...

Exact XML Type Checking in Polynomial Time
Stay macro tree transducers (smtts) are an expressive formalism for reasoning about XSLT-like document transformations. Here, we consider the exact type checking problem for smtts....

Market Equilibria in Polynomial Time for Fixed Number of Goods or Agents
We consider markets in the classical Arrow-Debreu model. There are n agents and m goods. Each buyer has a concave utility function (of the bundle of goods he/she buys) and an init...

On the Complexity of Learning Lexicographic Strategies
Fast and frugal heuristics are well studied models of bounded rationality. Psychological research has proposed the take-the-best heuristic as a successful strategy in decision mak...

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...
