Clustering via LP-based Stabilities
A novel center-based clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper. We first formulate clustering as an NP-hard linear integer program and we then use linear programming and the ...

An Extended Level Method for Efficient Multiple Kernel Learning
We consider the problem of multiple kernel learning (MKL), which can be formulated as a convex-concave problem. In the past, two efficient methods, i.e., Semi-Infinite Linear Prog...

Sequential Monte Carlo in Probabilistic Planning Reachability Heuristics
The current best conformant probabilistic planners encode the problem as a bounded length CSP or SAT problem. While these approaches can find optimal solutions for given plan leng...

Variance Reduction Techniques for Gradient Estimates in Reinforcement Learning
Policy gradient methods for reinforcement learning avoid some of the undesirable properties of the value function approaches, such as policy degradation (Baxter and Bartlett, 2001...
