Eligibility traces have been shown to speed reinforcement learning, to make it more robust to hidden states, and to provide a link between Monte Carlo and temporal-difference meth...

Addressed in this paper is the issue of `email data cleaning' for text mining. Many text mining applications need take emails as input. Email data is usually noisy and thus i...
We devise a boosting approach to classification and regression based on column generation using a mixture of kernels. Traditional kernel methods construct models based on a single...
Recently, approximation analysis has been extensively used to study algorithms for routing weighted packets in various network settings. Although different techniques were applied...
A randomized algorithm is given that solves the wait-free consensus problem for a shared-memory model with infinitely many processes. The algorithm is based on a weak shared coin ...
