A framework for evolutionary optimization with approximate fitness functions
It is not unusual that an approximate model is needed for fitness evaluation in evolutionary computation. In this case, the convergence properties of the evolutionary algorithm are...

Optimism in Reinforcement Learning Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence
We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. Optimism is usually implemented by carryin...

Directed acyclic graph based mode optimization for H.263 video encoding
Optimal mode selection for video coding is important in minimizing visual distortion given a rate constraint, and it has been studied in the literature using a single previous mac...
