Zero-data Learning of New Tasks
We introduce the problem of zero-data learning, where a model must generalize to classes or tasks for which no training data are available and only a description of the classes or...

Propagating Knapsack Constraints in Sublinear Time
We develop an efficient incremental version of an existing cost-based filtering algorithm for the knapsack constraint. On a universe of n elements, m invocations of the algorith...

Compact Spectral Bases for Value Function Approximation Using Kronecker Factorization
A new spectral approach to value function approximation has recently been proposed to automatically construct basis functions from samples. Global basis functions called proto-val...

Mutual Belief Revision: Semantics and Computation
This paper presents both a semantic and a computational model for multi-agent belief revision. We show that these two models are equivalent but serve different purposes. The seman...

Point-Based Policy Iteration
We describe a point-based policy iteration (PBPI) algorithm for infinite-horizon POMDPs. PBPI replaces the exact policy improvement step of Hansen’s policy iteration with point...

Markov Blanket Feature Selection for Support Vector Machines
Based on Information Theory, optimal feature selection should be carried out by searching Markov blankets. In this paper, we formally analyze the current Markov blanket discovery ...
