The multi-armed bandit problem for a gambler is to decide which arm of a K-slot machine to pull to maximize his total reward in a series of trials. Many real-world learning and opt...
: Copy avoidance refers to the safe replacement, at compile time, of copying operations by destructive updates in single-assignment languages. Conceptually, the problem can be divi...
We study two quite different approaches to understanding the complexity of fundamental problems in numerical analysis. We show that both hinge on the question of understanding the...
In designing learning algorithms it seems quite reasonable to construct them in such a way that all data the algorithm already has obtained are correctly and completely reflected...
Abstract. A positive temporal template (or a positive temporal constraint language) is a relational structure whose relations can be defined over countable dense linear order witho...
