Computation of multiple sequence alignments is one of the major open problems in computational molecular biology. The purpose of this study was to provide a new method, PAC (Progre...
We consider the problem of sparse interpolation of a multivariate black-box polynomial in floating-point arithmetic. That is, both the inputs and outputs of the black-box polynomia...
Several reinforcement-learning techniques have already been applied to the Acrobot control problem, using linear function approximators to estimate the value function. In this pape...
We consider an MDP setting in which the reward function is allowed to change during each time step of play (possibly in an adversarial manner), yet the dynamics remain fixed. Simi...
We describe an algorithm for support vector machines (SVM) that can be parallelized efficiently and scales to very large problems with hundreds of thousands of training vectors. I...
