Approximating clique-width and branch-width
We construct a polynomial-time algorithm to approximate the branch-width of certain symmetric submodular functions, and give two applications. The first is to graph "clique-wi...

Spatial scan statistics: approximations and performance study
Spatial scan statistics are used to determine hotspots in spatial data, and are widely used in epidemiology and biosurveillance. In recent years, there has been much effort invest...

Robot trajectory optimization using approximate inference
The general stochastic optimal control (SOC) problem in robotics scenarios is often too complex to be solved exactly and in near real time. A classical approximate solution is to ...

Tracking value function dynamics to improve reinforcement learning with piecewise linear function approximation
Reinforcement learning algorithms can become unstable when combined with linear function approximation. Algorithms that minimize the mean-square Bellman error are guaranteed to co...

Faster Approximation of Distances in Graphs
Let G = (V, E) be an weighted undirected graph on n vertices and m edges, and let dG be its shortest path metric. We present two simple deterministic algorithms for approximating ...
