We present a new method for estimating the expected return of a POMDP from experience. The estimator does not assume any knowledge of the POMDP, can estimate the returns for finit...
A key prerequisite to optimal reasoning under uncertainty in intelligent systems is to start with good class probability estimates. This paper improves on the current best probabi...
Abstract. This paper describes "cranking", a new committee formation algorithm. Cranking results in accurate and reliable committee predictions, even when applied to comp...
We suggest a new heuristic for solving unconstrained continuous optimization problems. It is based on a generalized version of the variable neighborhood search metaheuristic. Diff...
