We present a field study of police SWAT teams for the purpose of enabling grounded design of a system to coordinate distributed field robots. The mission-oriented, spatially distr...
Hidden Markov models hmms and partially observable Markov decision processes pomdps provide useful tools for modeling dynamical systems. They are particularly useful for represent...
In this paper, we present an approach for learning interest profiles implicitly from positive user observations only. This approach eliminates the need to prompt users for ratings...
We present new algorithms for reinforcement learning, and prove that they have polynomial bounds on the resources required to achieve near-optimal return in general Markov decisio...
Two independent sets of recent observations on newly sequenced microbial genomes pertain to the prevalence of short inversion as a gene order rearrangement process and to the lack...
