Sketching Information Divergences
When comparing discrete probability distributions, natural measures of similarity are not p distances but rather are informationdivergences such as Kullback-Leibler and Hellinger. ...

Convergence of synchronous reinforcement learning with linear function approximation
Synchronous reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms with linear function approximation are representable as inhomogeneous matrix iterations of a special form (Schoknecht & Merk...

On the convergence of regret minimization dynamics in concave games
We study a general sub-class of concave games, which we call socially concave games. We show that if each player follows any no-external regret minimization procedure then the dyn...

A Divergence Minimization Approach to Joint Multiuser Decoding for Coded CDMA
In this paper, a theoretical framework of divergence minimization (DM) is applied to derive iterative receiver algorithms for coded CDMA systems. The DM receiver obtained performs ...
